Meaning & Analysis

Banksy's 2007 screen-print Morons critiques art elitism by replacing Van Gogh's Sunflowers, sold for £22.5m, with a sign reading "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU MORONS ACTUALLY BUY THIS SHIT." The print, from the unsigned white and gold LA edition of 500, highlights the absurdity of art world wealth and includes a meta-comment on Banksy's own buyers.

Morons is one of Banksy’s most scathing attacks on the extraordinarily high prices his, and many other artists’ artworks generate. This largely monochromatic original screen print in Banksy’s signature style portrays an auction room full of people in suits bidding for a number of artworks, including one in a gold frame (the only colour in the image) that reads, ‘I can’t believe you morons actually buy this shit’.

Banksy’s relationship with the art market is notoriously controversial, which is precisely why he is so successful. The artist has expressed similarly critical opinions of the art world’s commercialism through public pranks such as the famous incident in 2008 at Sotheby’s auction of Girl With Balloon, which, after the hammer struck down at a record price, ceremoniously shredded itself in front of the audience.

Morons first appeared on Banksy’s site following a record-breaking auction result for one of his canvases.

I used MyArtBroker to sell our Bridget Riley print. It was a very smooth process and I was very happy with the deal. Jasper was clear on the sale and I was kept informed every step of the way. Highly recommended!!
