Banksy: Genius or Vandal?
Event
BANKSY: Genius or Vandal? brings us closer to the controversial artistic world of one of the most influential creators in recent years, featuring more than 70 works organised into various thematic sections. The exhibition includes original works, sculptures, installations, videos and photographs. The works, from private collections and with the collaboration of Lilley Fine Art/Contemporary Art Gallery will be exhibited in Portugal again, for the first time in Porto.
An impressive audio-visual installation especially created for this exhibition greets visitors on arrival, revealing clues about this mysterious artist, highlighting his most important pieces and framing his unusual career, fraught with controversy. Amongst the most widely recognised works in the show is the original silkscreen of the “Girl with Balloon” series, similar to the one recently destroyed by the artist in an unprecedented action at Sotheby’s, London auction house.
