Banksy

Biography

Originally from Bristol, Banksy has taken his provocative and inspiring brand of vandalism to sites worldwide, from the Sydney Opera House to Cuba. A media favourite for stunts like hanging his own work in the Tate gallery, but a popular star long before any of that. Banksy brought UK graphic art to an international audience through his street works, painted animals, screen prints, books, doctored CDs and was finally honoured in 2009 with a show at the Bristol Museum.

Banksy has punked Paris Hilton

5th September 2006
As we're sure you're all aware, Banksy has punked Paris Hilton's latest musical offering (who says you can't polish a turd eh?).

There were 500 copies 'distributed' to various record shops up and down the country. You won't be able to buy one here at the gallery. No amount of bribery, threatening behaviour or cake baking will enable you to get one from us, we don't have any, so please don't ring us up! It will take your tenacity and a bus pass if you want to find one. So look out for one at a record shop near you and good luck.

See how it was done.
