The Art of Banksy: A Unique Exhibition Experience

1. Introduction to the Exhibit

The largest touring exhibition of Banksy pieces, The Art of Banksy, is making its way to Boston next month, featuring an extensive collection of over 100 original works from private collections. This remarkable exhibit is currently on display in San Francisco and will move to New England on February 17, attracting art enthusiasts and Banksy fans alike.

2. Details About the Exhibit

Corey Ross, president & CEO of Starvox Exhibits, remarked, “This is a one-of-a-kind exhibition. You will never again have the opportunity to see this many of Banksy’s works in one place.” Once the exhibition concludes, the artwork will be returned to collectors worldwide, highlighting the rarity of experiencing these pieces in a single venue.

The exhibition, curated by its producers without Banksy’s direct involvement, combines efforts from private collectors, revealing a collection that would usually remain concealed. Visitors can expect a diverse range of artwork, including canvases, screen prints, sculptures, and limited edition pieces. The exhibit showcases some of Banksy’s most iconic images created between 1997 and 2008, such as “Flower Thrower,” “Rude Copper,” and “Girl With Balloon,” which gained fame after being partially shredded at auction in 2018.

Importantly, the international success of “The Art of Banksy” has led to previous exhibitions in cities like London, Melbourne, Amsterdam, Tel Aviv, Auckland, Chicago, and Toronto, making it a significant event for art lovers around the globe.

3. Exhibit Dates in Boston

The exhibit is set to run in Boston until April 3, located in Harvard Square. Tickets start at $39.99, with several options available, including timed, flexible, and VIP tickets. Following Boston, the exhibition will continue its journey to Denver on April 14.
