Banksy (1974) - Official Banksy "Peckham Rock" British Museum - NO RESERVE

If you reside in the Paris region, you can pick up the artwork directly from our gallery located in the 11th arrondissement. Otherwise, we ship worldwide. Our works are carefully packaged, protected, and shipped with tracking and insurance. — A superb collector’s piece published by the British Museum Gift Shop to coincide with the 2018 re-exhibition of Banksy’s iconic Peckham Rock. This resin artwork, designed to resemble stone, faithfully reproduces the original wooden fragment painted by Banksy in 2005, depicting a prehistoric figure pushing a shopping cart. The original piece was secretly installed by the artist in one of the museum’s galleries, where it remained unnoticed for several days — a legendary act of subversion that has since become part of street art history. In 2018, the British Museum included the work once again in the exhibition I Object: Ian Hislop’s Search for Dissent, celebrating satire and countercultural resistance. This official re-edition, now impossible to find, features on its back the original label text displayed in the museum. A must-have for any Banksy collector — a witty and ironic nod to the ongoing dialogue between art, institutions, and rebellion. • Material: resin imitating stone (after the original hand-painted wooden piece) • Condition: excellent • Comes with its original online purchase receipt • The last photos show the original Peckham Rock exhibited at the British Museum in 2005. An anonymous British artist, Banksy has become one of the most influential figures in contemporary art since the late 1990s. Emerging from the Bristol graffiti scene, he developed an immediately recognizable visual language combining stencilled imagery with sharp social and political commentary. His works — at once ironic, poetic, and subversive — address themes such as war, consumerism, inequality, and surveillance. While his identity remains deliberately unknown, the mystery has only strengthened his cultural impact. Beyond his street interventions, Banksy has produced major immersive exhibitions, including Barely Legal (Los Angeles, 2006) and Dismaland (Weston-super-Mare, 2015), as well as the Oscar-nominated documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop (2011). Today, Banksy is regarded as one of the most significant and collected artists of his generation. His work continues to challenge the relationship between art, power, and institutions, while preserving the wit and rebellious spirit that first defined his practice.
