BANKSY Di-Faced Tenner 10 pounds, 2004 Impression offset 7,50 x 14,20 cm - 2,95 x 5,59 in. This is NOT REAL CURRENCY OR A COUNTERFEIT BILL. This is a PIECE OF ART WORK from the UK’s famous artist ‘Banksy’.Obviously no holograms, watermarks or security strips are on the notes these are merely printed on as Banksy simply scanned the image of his original note. Please also be aware that this note does not feel like real £10 note (Banksy had to use a completely different standard of paper - for obvious counterfeiting reasons), it is silky and soft to touch, the creases and shadows on the note are just from the original banksy scanned image. This note is pristine in A+ condition. Originally attached to his ATM machine piece on Rosebery Avenue, London, the notes were also available from Santa’s Ghetto exhibition at the Soho Bookshop in December 2004.The note has all the 'Banksy' subtleties as you would expect, like, Dianna's face replacing the Queens, 'Banksy of England', instead of 'Bank of England', the POW initials as well as DiFaced Currency information on the bottom right hand side, the Serial number CA70 364470, and the words 'trust no one' on the reverse side. Banksy (British, b. ca.1974/1975) is one of the most well-known, if mysterious, Graffiti artists working in England today. Banksy, the pseudonym adopted by the artist, heavily guards his privacy; the details of his life largely unknown to the public. He has garnered great fame for his graffiti works, which often combine spray paint and stenciling techniques with commercial, political, and contemporary imagery, infused with ironic social commentary and humor. Often critical of business and corporations, Banksy’s work has been found on the sides of corporate buildings, on billboards, as well as the Israeli West Bank wall. The unveiling of many of Banksy’s new works often incorporates pranks or performance: he secretly added his own works in museums like the Tate Modern in London or the Paris Louvre; opened gallery shows to the public with specially-bred rats running around the gallery space; and once inserted an inflatable doll dressed as a Guantanamo Bay prisoner into the Disneyland theme park in California. In addition to his reactionary street art, Banksy has created works for several charities, and consistently opens exhibitions of his work to wide audiences and critical acclaim. He currently lives and works in Bristol, England.
