The numbered and signed copy offered for sale here is thus extremely rare. Please take the liberty of bidding generously, as the entire proceeds of this auction will be donated to the fund for the reconstruction of schools and playgrounds in Borodyanka. ‘A great book!’ Igor Smelyanskyi, CEO of Ukrposhta, Kyiv (UA) ‘This art book is of immense significance to Ukrainian society’ Rostyslav Burlaka, CEO of RBP Publishing, Kyiv (UA) The art book "BANKSY IN UKRAINE - F*CK PTN!" recounts the graffiti Banksy created in Ukraine, the Ukrposhta issues that came out of it and the child suffering caused by the war. In the spirit of Banksy, the Charles Catteau Foundation asbl - in consultation with Ukrposhta and in a direct relationship with the Borodyanka municipal council - has decided to donate the entire selling price of the publication and the entire crowdfunding proceeds to the reconstruction of educational institutions and playgrounds in Borodyanka. In this way, every contribution - brick by brick, as it were - gets a concrete destination, and because the standard of living in Ukraine is much lower than that of the Western world and many other prosperous states, every donation there is worth a multiple of that currency. All our auctions of authentic and official editions were approved by Marc Pairon, world-renowned Flemish art expert and author of several art books.
