More information
Laugh Now But One Day We’ll Be In Charge. One side of the monkey’s sign board reads 'Keep It Real’ and the other says 'Laugh Now But One Day We’ll Be In Charge’. An ironic look at Darwinism. Banksy designed this artwork, a 12" EP credited to DJDM, Danger Mouse, using an image initially created in 2002 when Banksy was commissioned to do a piece for the Ocean Rooms Night Club in Brighton. A stenciled work spray-painted in black and white on three pieces of board, one meter high, six meters wide, depicting 10 monkeys. Picture size 31x31 cm.
More about Banksy
Banksy is a pseudonym for an English anonymous street-art artist. He is considered one of the world's most popular and wellknown artists. His art usually comments on current events, politics and morality. One of his most popular motifs, "Girl with Balloon", a version on canvas sold at auction in 2018 for over £1 million, moments after selling it started to automatically self-destruct through a hidden shredding mechanism that had been placed in the frame by the artist years before. Making headlines the world over, appropriately renamed "Love is in the Bin" by Banksy afterwards, sold again in 2021 for £18.5 million.
