Our expert's notes

"GDP Flower Thrower" by Banksy, b. 1974 -
In 2019, Banksy opened a unique homewares store called Gross Domestic Product (a window-shopping experience only) in Croydon, London. The shop's creation was a response from the artist to a greeting card company that attempted to take legal custody of the artist's name. All of the items within the store highlighted issues within modern-day society.
A limited number of these "Flower Thrower" prints were randomly distributed to attendees under the age of 16. Other print designs given out simultaneously were "GDP Rat" and "Crisis as Usual". The exact number of prints handed out is unknown.
It is a one-colour screen print on 50gsm paper, which exhibits natural waves and light creasing from the screen printing process.
Dimensions: 76 cm x 57 cm (30" x 22.5")
About the Artist:
Arguably the most famous individual in street art, Banksy is an anonymous British artist whose work has gained international fame. Not only does his art spark frequent conversations, but the artist's identity remains a subject of speculation. He is predominantly known for commenting on social and political issues, with dark humour usually incorporated. Banksy's iconic street art is often achieved using spray paint and stencils, but he also has used other mediums, including creating his own currency and modifying street signs.
