He is world-famous and yet still a mystery - Banksy, the Bristol-born and still anonymous graffiti artist and painter who is known for challenging the boundaries of the art market and who has been causing a sensation with his work for years. Since its world premiere in 2021, the successful exhibition has established itself as the most popular and therefore most successful show about the street art superstar with over 3.5 million visitors worldwide.
The exhibition features an unprecedented presentation of more than 200 works by the celebrated street art superstar: graffiti, photographs, sculptures, video installations and prints on various materials such as canvas, fabric, aluminum, forex and Plexiglas were reproduced and compiled especially for this special show.
"The Mystery of Banksy - A Genius Mind" gives visitors a comprehensive overview and insight into the complete works of this genius and exceptional artist in an elaborate and unique setting. True to Banksy's motto "Copyright is for losers ©TM", this homage and the works on display are not authorized by the artist due to his anonymous status.
This extraordinary art experience is curated by Virginia Jean. The young British-born, Berlin-based curator and gallery owner is a versatile designer and irreversible creative. After working for many years in the classical art market, she has created numerous projects and exhibitions in the field of street art. Banksy has always been a great influence and inspiration in her life due to her background and passion for creativity and free art as a means of communication. She is an expert on his works and a specialist in the street art industry.
Who is Banksy?
Nobody knows who Banksy is, but everyone knows his name! He is probably the most famous and at the same time most mysterious artist in the world. According to estimates, the 50-year-old Bristol-born graffiti artist, who remains anonymous to this day, has successfully kept his identity a secret. His works, on the other hand, not only conquer the streets internationally, but also the auction houses, and with great success: he is currently considered one of the most expensive artists of our time! Banksy is an underground fighter, hotel operator and undoubtedly the undisputed king of street art, a brilliant mind and star artist who touches people and speaks from the soul with his sometimes ironic, sometimes political, but always poetic works. When the city of Bristol asked its citizens to vote in 2009 on whether Banksy's works should be removed from the cityscape, 97 percent decided against it. A clear vote in favor of his art. Banksy is a star far beyond the boundaries of the art market. Back in 2010, Time magazine included him for the first time on its list of the 100 most influential people in the world, alongside personalities such as Barack Obama, Steve Jobs and Lady Gaga.
