A collection of artworks by the mysterious Banksy is making its way to Dublin next year.

The Art of Banksy is the world's largest touring collection of art from the illusive artist. The blockbuster exhibition has gathered 145 iconic pieces from private collections across the globe.

The tour, which has already visited cities all over the world, has not announced its Dublin dates yet. The exhibition will also be opening in Glasgow and Birmingham in 2023.

Exact dates and locations in each city will be revealed in due course. In the meantime, Banksy fans can join the advance waiting list to be amongst the first to find out.

The Art of Banksy offers the chance to experience the infamous artist’s most well-known works, alongside those rarely seen by the public, all on loan from private collectors including prints, canvases, limited-edition pieces, unique works and fascinating ephemera. It offers a rare opportunity to see an overview of Banksy’s work from 2002 to 2017 along with the chance to view the artist’s work in a way not possible on the street or in any museum or gallery.

The exhibition has already travelled to Melbourne, Chicago, San Francisco, Sydney, Washington DC, Boston, Tel Aviv, Auckland, Toronto, Miami, Gothenburg and London. Banksy is a pseudonymous England-based street artist, political activist and film director whose real identity remains unknown.
