World’s largest Banksy exhibition moves to Soho - tickets and dates

The world’s largest collection of original Banksy artworks is opening in Soho this month.

The Art of Banksy showcases more than 150 pieces including prints, canvases and unique works from the anonymous street artist. The exhibition, which just finished a six month run on Regent Street, will open at 100 Charing Cross Road on Thursday April 11.

Works on display include famous pieces including Girl With Balloon, Flower Thrower and Rude Copper. These are presented alongside “hand drawn sketches and personal works that Banksy created for friends, associates and lovers”.

The exhibition focuses on Banksy’s Dismaland, The Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem and recent artworks acknowledging the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Michel Boersma, curator of Art of Banksy previously told LondonWorld that he hopes to find a permanent space for the exhibition.

“A museum should be doing a Banksy exhibition and they’re not,” said Mr Boersma. “For the last seven years we’ve been putting together and working with collectors who have this beautiful art and want to show it to the people.

“One thing that’s really exciting is we have the Mona Lisa. It's a piece that was made in 2003. It has been living in the house of a very famous Hollywood actor, a friend of Banksy.

“In 2022 he gave it back to Banksy and he made a whole new piece with it. It got sold to one of the collectors we work with earlier this year. It's my new favourite piece. The art world didn’t know it existed till now.”

Organisers said the Charing Cross Road location would feature new Banksy works as well as more audio and visual elements, a cafe and museum shop.
