Banksy | Feb 2023 – Hang-Up Gallery

Banksy

New acquisitions

February brings a fresh collection of Banksy artworks that we want to bring to your attention. We have a selection of signed, unsigned and VIP artworks as well as art market insights from the gallery founder who has over 20 years in the industry.

"Banksy’s market rose exponentially in 2020 and 2021, with auction records smashed and unprecedented prices achieved. We’re now in the midst of a very welcome softening. Sometimes the market does have to stabilise in order to remain healthy and many of our clients are taking the opportunity to pick up coveted works at more favourable prices."

- Ben Cotton, Hang-Up Gallery Founder
