Banksy, Di-Faced Tenner, 2004 

Double sided offset Lithograph print

7.6 x 14.7 cm (3 x 5 4/5 in)

Includes official letter of authenticity hand-signed by the original publisher Steve Lazarides and a gallery issused COA. 

This is the first ever Banksy piece acquired by the British Museum (in 2019). Back in 2004 he made a whole briefcase full, and Banksy made them rain at the Reading and Notting Hill festivals. And on Liverpool Street Tube station platform.

Banksy is a pseudonymous England-based graffiti artist, political activist, film director and painter.

His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti done in a distinctive stenciling technique. Such artistic works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls and bridges in cities throughout the world.

Banksy's work was made up of the Bristol underground scene which involved collaborations between artists and musicians. Observers have noted that his style is similar to Blek le Rat, who began to work with stencils in 1981 in Paris, Jef Aerosol, who sprayed his first street stencil in 1982 in Tours (France) and members of the anarcho-punk band Crass, which maintained a graffiti stencil campaign on the London Tube system in the late 1970's and early 1980's.

Known for his contempt for the government in labeling graffiti as vandalism, Banksy displays his art on publicly visible surfaces such as walls, even going as far as to build prop pieces.

Your Framing Options

Box framing is provided with all our online framing, creating a distance between the glass and your artwork, so no risk of ink transfer to the pane. it's the perfect, gallery grade choice for limited edition prints or original artworks.

Shadow float mounting is an option at our website, to give the appearance of an artwork floating within the frame. The mount – an archival foam core – creates depth too, by casting a shadow beneath the artwork. We highly recommend using a float mount when framing artwork with deckled (hand-torn) edges.

As always, all our materials are sustainable and archival to keep your artwork in mint condition and perfectly presented. Simply choose from our white or black float framing options, before adding to basket.

Glazing all our framing orders are shipped with glass. We take great care with packaging to protect your artwork.
