Morons (LA Edition White) Banksy

Banksy, Morons LA Edition (White an Gold), signed screenprint 150, 2007

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 screenprint 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’.

This artwork first appeared on Banksy’s site following a record-breaking auction result for one of his canvases. This white and gold version was originally released as at the Street Artist’s 2006 show Barely Legal in LA.  Numbered as an edition of 500 unsigned and 150 signed.
