Meaning & Analysis

The Kate Moss print series by Banksy is a direct homage to Andy Warhol's screen prints of the iconic actress and beauty symbol Marilyn Monroe. The limited edition screen print was ultimately produced in various different colourways in 2005, after the release of the first light blue original colourway. This square image was released as 120 signed screen prints, 20 prints of each colourway.

Borrowing Pop Art’s concept of blurring the lines between High and Low Art, as well as framing familiar items and images of celebrities from mainstream media as contemporary art, Banksy subverts this idea even further by appropriating Warhol’s now historic image.

Banksy is known for reinterpreting other artists work, such as in Choose Your Weapon featuring Keith Haring’s dog and Keep it Spotless featuring Damien Hirst's quintessential spots. Kate Moss is also one of Banksy’s most desirable works for sale, with auction prices for the prints reaching as high as six figures for some works.

In 2011, it was this edition that inspired Banksy to create a unique version for Kate Moss herself, while she was on her honeymoon. When she returned, she found the artwork in her bathroom waiting for her -- who organised Banksy’s access to Moss’s bathroom, and equally, who commissioned the work is not known; but likely to have been someone from Moss’ inner circle.

  • Renowned British street artist, Banksy, is the enigmatic figure behind some of the most subversive works in the Urban Art scene. Despite his anonymity, the artists' disruptive stunts have not only gained him notoriety, but they have vocalised his stance on many social and political issues. As seen with the likes of Girl With Balloon and Napalm, Banksy uses his distinctive stencil technique to produce thought-provoking commentaries on challenging themes. The showcase of rebellion that lines his work has caused his secondary market value to soar in recent years, propelling him to the top of the Urban Art scene.
