Banksy

Samenvatting

Between 2017 and 2020, street artist and political activist Banksy issued an unknown number of limited edition art objects in Palestine, only available to guests staying at the Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem. Like the hotel, these hand-painted polymer resin multiples were intended to highlight the living conditions of the Palestinian people. The miniatures were created by Banksy, who supervised decorations carried out by Palestinian artists – copies of the iconic graffiti he has painted on the wall closing off the West Bank. Through his research in Palestine and various collections and archives, Marc Pairon uncovers detailed information about this highly coveted series of collectibles.
