Artist: Banksy (English, b. c1973-75 | Active 1990 - Present). Title: "Flying Copper (Angel Cop) [announcement]". Medium: Original color offset lithograph. Date: Printed 2007. Dimensions: Overall size: 6 x 4 in. (152 x 102 mm).Lot Note(s): Edition unknown, presumed small. Printed on white stiff paper. Fine, quality printing. Very good to fine condition; very minor edge toning, mainly visible verso, else fine. Comment(s): This very scarce announcement features an image of one of Banksy's large-scale Flying Copper pieces, originally exhibited at his Turf War show in East London in 2003 (but misdescribed on the card as dated 2005). It was released prior to a show held at The Gallery at the Hospital Club in Covent Garden, London, from August 10 to September 1, 2007, organized by Pollock Fine Art. That show appears to have been the first one specifically dedicated to pairing artworks by Andy Warhol and Banksy. The copyright © for this work may or may not be owned by Banksy, who once opined that “copyright is for losers.”. [30331-1-300]
