AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Thomas Baumgärtel (1960), 5 DM Banana, 2020.
Two-tone stencil graffiti (pochoir) on a 5-DM banknote (6.2 x 12.2 cm), 90 copies, signed, numbered and stamped.
Note: Illustrations are exemplary – the edition number may vary.
Following Thomas Baumgärtel’s first Banana pochoir on a 2002 5-DM banknote, the edition 2020 appears 18 years later. The banknote shows the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin with the “embedded” Musa of the “Banana Sprayer” as stencil graffiti on the reverse of original, 1991-printed banknotes with Bettina von Arnin’s portrait on the front.
Biography
1985 to 1990 studies in Free Art at the Cologne University of Applied Sciences and up to 1995 in Psychology at the University of Cologne. Since 1986, the Cologne-based artist, under the pseudonym “Banana Sprayer,” marks art locations in European cities as well as in New York and Moscow – to date over 4,000. From 1995 he develops the “Banana Pointillism” – painting with small stencil-sprayed bananas on canvas. Public plaza actions with large banana sculptures such as, for example, “We Love the High Church” at the main portal of Cologne Cathedral (1998); since 2002 projects for Berlin: “We Love the Union” at the Brandenburg Gate.
