Banksy Kate Moss Turquoise For Sale

Edition

Edition of 50

Banksy’s prints featuring Kate Moss directly respond to the influence of Pop Art icon Andy Warhol. Initially released in 2003, the prints emerged in a limited light blue edition of 50. Subsequently, Banksy introduced another series comprising 120 prints in six additional colors—pink, hot pink, purple, green, apricot/gold, and blue/grey—with 20 variations of each hue. Additionally, Banksy crafted a highly limited series of 12 artist’s proofs and five canvas reproductions, all bearing the artist’s signature.Each piece is authenticated by Banksy's signature. In a noteworthy anecdote, it was reported that Banksy created a unique edition specifically for Kate Moss as a wedding present in 2011. Rumor has it that upon discovering the artwork in her hotel bathroom during her honeymoon, Moss was pleasantly surprised. The artwork features a fusion of Moss's and Marilyn Monroe’s faces, overlaying Monroe’s iconic hairstyle onto a grayscale portrait of Moss. This artistic amalgamation, akin to many of Banksy's creations, serves as both an homage to fame and a sardonic commentary on the spectacle it embodies.
