Banksy Screen Print Exposures
Original 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.’
