δ Banksy (b.1974)Have a Nice Day (Anarchist Book Fair)Screenprint in colours, 2003, signed, inscribed 'A' (Anarchy) and numbered from the edition of 67 in pencil, on wove paper, printed and published by Pictures On Walls, London, with full margins sheet 319 x 999mm (13 1/2 x 39 1/4in) This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Pest Control Office.This screenprint is from Banksy's first official print run published by Pictures on Walls in 2003. It was released as a special edition of only sixty-seven signed prints. It is believed that the artist himself kept thirteen of these, and the remainder of the edition has largely been kept stored away. It differs in several aspects from the artist's later and more numerous Have a Nice Day edition, such as the font of the text and composition of the image; providing interesting insight into how the artist works and reworks his iconic images through the medium of screenprint. δ This lot is sold subject to Artists Resale Rights, details of which can be found in our Terms and Conditions.
