A touring exhibition of original artworks by Banksy is set to open in Salford’s MediaCity this autumn after a year-long run in London. The Art of Banksy display will feature 145 authenticated works including prints and canvases from the Bristol-born street artist.
The exhibition, which has not been authorised by the famed graffiti artist, is set to open on October 21. All the works are on loan from private collectors and among the collection are works from 2002 to 2017, including pieces that brought the artist international recognition such as Girl With Balloon (2002).
Flower Thrower (2003), which sees a young protester throwing a bouquet of flowers, will also be on display as well as Rude Copper (2002), which depicts a policeman holding up his middle finger.
