Lot # : 15 - Banksy vs Bristol Museum Poster Dorothy

Banksy vs. Bristol Museum, poster, 2009. Offset lithograph in colors on satin white paper. 23-3/8 x 16-1/2 inches (59.4 x 41.9 cm). Very good condition. Expect to pay $1500 and up in a gallery if you can find one! In the summer of 2009 Bristol Museum & Art Gallery was taken over by an extraordinary exhibition of works by the infamous Bristol artist Banksy called Banksy versus Bristol Museum. Overnight the museum was transformed into a menagerie of Unnatural History – fish fingers swimming in a gold-fish bowl, hot-dogs and chicken nuggets. Paintings were placed in amongst the historical collections of Old Masters, sculptures and other pieces dotted around throughout the museum displays. The main entrance was transformed into a sculpture hall, accompanied by a burnt-out ice-cream van that pumped out an eerie sound-track of warped tunes, whilst a giant ice-cream melted on its roof. These Original posters were issued to celebrate the Banksy vs Bristol Museum exhibition that ran from June 13th to August 31st in 2009. Congratulations to the winning bidder!
