Banksy says he has kept his stencils 'hidden away for years' as he feared they could be used as evidence to prosecute him. But the famous Bristol artist says it's now time to allow people to see them, as he announces his new exhibition.
It opens on Sunday (June 18) at the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow, running until August 15 and marking his first solo exhibition in 14 years. It seems he's still unsure if it's the right move, though.
The elusive Bristol street artist released a short statement explaining his decision, acknowledging that it's unusual for him to endorse a formal gallery exhibition of his work. The show includes authentic artefacts, ephemera and the artist’s actual toilet.
