In 2002, the street artist Banksy stenciled a graffiti work depicting an iconic scene from the 1994 film Pulp Fiction in the Old Street subway station in London. The image featured the actors John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson in the starring roles from the film, with their guns pointed at a figure offscreen. In his version, Banksy replaced the guns with bananas. The work was painted over in 2007 by transportation authorities in London, who believed the image may promote crime. However, since much of Banksy’s work seeks to expose the wastefulness and stupidity of violence, it is unlikely that this was the artist’s intention. While the original Pulp Fiction lies somewhere beneath a layer of paint in London, collectors can still find screen prints of this iconic work on the market today.

Provenance
Banksy Screen Print ExposuresOriginal screens purchased from Nick Fellows who worked at Mission Prints in Birmingham. Nick was the senior print consultant for Mission Prints before his employment ended with the company in November 2009. http://missionprint.co.uk
Mission prints were contracted by Pictures on Walls and produced many of Banksy’s most famous prints including: Have a Nice Day, Bomb Middle England, Weston-Super-Mare, Love is in the Air, HRH Queen Victoria, HMV, Bar Code Leopard, Golf Sale, Monkey Queen, Turf War, Pulp Fiction, Laugh Now, Bomb Hugger, Virgin Mary, Happy Choppers, Flying Copper, NOLA, Stop & Search, Applause and Have a Nice Day.
The last work produced by Mission prints was “Nola” released in late 2008.
Golf Sale is a reinterpretation of Jeff Widener’s iconic photograph taken in the aftermath of the Chinese military’s violent suppression of the 1989 Democracy Movement. A man stands defiantly in front of a line of tanks attempting to block their path. It is widely considered to be one of the most notable acts of non-violent intervention in history. Banksy recreates the scene in black and white, this time, the man is holding a sign reading “GOLF SALE” in the style of the placards often seen around London’s Oxford Street.
‘We can’t do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles.
In the meantime, we should all go shopping to console ourselves.’
Nick Fellows:
"One of the major concerns was retaining the diffused off-spray that occurs with all stencil work, and is synonymous with the media. Through various experiments and mathematics, we were able to continue this working relationship for 3 different series of his first prints and also stickers, clothing abd identity for Santas Ghetto, to which Chu´s artwork was also contributed in 2003.
