Street artist Bansky has been surprising the world since the 90’s. From then on Banksy’s silkscreen prints and stencil paintings were racking up record-breaking sales in storied art auctions such as Sotheby’s and Bonham’s of London. These successful sales marked Banksy’s entry into the commercial art world.
For this article, we are sharing Banksy’s less mainstream paintings and prints mostly dating in the 90’s and early 2000’s.
Rumoured for the past two years, the elusive “Gorilla” print by Banksy which should have been released by Pictures On Walls years ago is still missing.
Announced in 2011 by POW, this piece of Banksy’s art was supposed to be made available for purchase in March 2012.
Pretexting glitter problems at first, we can now confirm with you that this Banksy’s release has been cancelled by POW and will sadly never be released.
The print-release was killed over a year ago but was never officially confirmed by Banksy or his team.
On the bright side of things, we are hearing some stuff should be happening soon.
Painted in the early 2000’s in Bristol, the Gorilla has been accidentally painted over by the building’s new owner back in July 2011.
Take a look at more images from this iconic Banksy piece after the break.
