Picture
Banksy is probably the most well known producer of street art in the world. Originating in Bristol, Banksy artwork has made it to all four corners of the globe. Since 2002 when Banksy art first made it to wall prints in the form of Rude Copper, trade in his limited edition prints has thrived.

Appearing in all the major auction houses, Banksy prints are often originally street art, and have become extremely collectable. Banksy artwork is now popular worldwide, and it seems like anyone who's anyone wants a banksy signed print on their wall. At the cheaper end of the scale, there are original banksy posters come onto the market, such as his Tesco Soup piece, giving people of almost any budget the opportunity to take part in the trade of banksy images. Banksy's stencils lend themselves well to the process of screen printing, and now that it seems that barely week goes by without the artist making the headlines, the rise in the popularity of these screen prints is understandable.

For the most part, Banksy canvas prints are to be avoided. These cheap canvases lack the official seal of approval, granted by Pictures on Walls. So to enter the world of buying graffiti by Banksy, it's best to start in original prints - unsigned prints in some cases can be surprisingly affordable. Above all, authenticity is key - so when buying a print, make sure it comes with the Pest Control certificate of authenticity.
