SUMMARY
An iconic Banksy image, the product of one of the artist’s original public pranks. Printed in August 2004, fake currency was created – with the artist slipping them into people’s pockets at various UK festivals.
Supplied with a letter of provenance from Steve Lazarides. The frame measures 28cm x 28cm.
DESCRIPTION
The note replaces the portrait of the Queen Elizabeth II of England with the face of Princess Diana, who had a famously controversial relationship with the Royal family and sadly passed away in 1997. The reverse of the note reads ‘Trust No One Beneath Charles Darwin’ and ‘Banksy of America’, a joint critique on big banks, capitalism and the monarchy. It was Banksy’s first notorious art stunt, which played a significant role in the street artist’s rise to fame; following the release of the £10 notes, people unwittingly began to circulate them as real currency, before they were detected and removed from circulation.
Di-Faced Tenner is still amongst one of Banksy’s most sought-after editions.
