Description from the seller

Two-tone stencil graffiti (pochoir) on a 5-DM banknote (6.2 x 12.2 cm),
90 copies, signed, numbered and stamped.
Note: Illustrations exemplary – the edition number may vary.
After Thomas Baumgärtel's first banana pochoir on the 2002 decommissioned 5-DM note, the edition 2020 appears 18 years later. The banknote shows the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin with an “embedded” Musa of the “Banana Sprayer” as stencil graffiti on the back of original, printed in 1991 banknotes with Bettina von Arnim's portrait on the front.
Biography
1985 to 1990 studied Free Art at the Cologne University of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschule Köln) as well as psychology at the University of Cologne until 1995. Since 1986, the Cologne artist marks art sites in European cities as well as in New York and Moscow under the pseudonym “Banana-Sprayer” – to date over 4000. From 1995 he developed the “Banana Pointillism” – painting with small stencil-sprayed bananas on canvas. Actions on public squares with large banana sculptures such as “Wir lieben die Hohe Kirche” at the main portal of the Cologne Cathedral (1998); since 2002 projects for Berlin: “Wir lieben die Vereinigung” at the Brandenburg Gate.
