AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The phrase "I AM AN IMBECILE" (IO SONO UN IMBECILE) refers to a famous artwork by artist David Shrigley, created for Banksy's temporary project known as Dismaland; it was a temporary artistic installation, conceived and erected by Banksy and lasting for thirty-eight days, from August 21 to September 27, 2015, at the Tropicana, a disused seaside pleasure pier in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, England. The artist, in addition to funding the construction of the show, also contributed by creating ten new works. 4,000 visitors were admitted per day. The installation's name is an English word formed from the terms dismal ("gloomy") and land ("land"). The balloons were distributed during the exhibition, making them highly sought-after collectibles.

Plastic material bears the inscription, in white on a black background, "I AM AN IMBECILE".
The measurements are height 80 cm, width 58 cm.
It will be shipped folded and well packaged in a rigid box and well sealed.

It can be framed to emphasise its importance.

By winning the auction together with the balloon you will receive the original brochure with the map of the Dismaland park

Everything will be provided with an entry document to the park with the name, which for privacy has been covered, of the person who visited Dismaland
