Banksy's Kate Moss print series pays homage to the king of Pop-Art, Andy Warhol, duplicating his iconic Marilyn Monroe silkscreened paintings with a contemporary twist. The 90s supermodel’s face is superimposed onto Monroe's hair; Moss is portrayed as Marilyn’s modern-day equivalent, both being sex symbols of their respective eras.
Works from the Kate Moss series by Banksy have a strong market value presence, with 26 auction appearances. Peak hammer prices have reached £250,000 for top-performing works. Over the past 12 months, average values across the series have ranged from £20,000 to £250,000. The series shows an average annual growth rate of 0.68%. First auction sale recorded on 05/02/2008. The wide price range reflects variation in scale, condition and rarity; a premium is placed on rare-to-market examples and signed examples typically command a premium. Factors that enhance value include condition, rarity, edition size and signatures; private market activity appears to be significant. The market view is one of measured performance with potential for selective appreciation.

Banksy’s Kate Moss prints are a direct response to Pop Art figurehead, Andy Warhol.
First produced in 2005 in a limited light blue edition of 50, these Banksy prints were released in another series of 120 shortly afterwards in six more colours pink, hot pink, purple, green, apricot/gold and blue/grey), with 20 of each variation. Banksy also edited a very limited series of 12 artist’s proofs as well as five reproductions on canvas.
All pieces are signed by the artist, and in 2011, Banksy reportedly created a unique edition for Kate Moss herself as a wedding gift. Story has it that on her honeymoon, she was surprised to find the artwork in her hotel bathroom waiting for her. Banksy combines the faces of Moss and Marilyn Monroe, superimposing Monroe’s hair onto a grey-scale portrait of Moss, creating, like many of his other works, both a glorification of fame and a satirical comment on it as a spectacle.
Besides Warhol, Banksy has also paid tribute to a number of other modern artists most notably including Keith Haring in Choose Your Weapon.
