Banksy (British, b. 1974) After: Two Difaced Tenners, Double-sided digital prints on paper. Displayed together in one double-sided frame, unsigned. In 2004, Banksy printed 1 million pounds worth of fake 10 pound notes that replaced the visage of Queen Elizabeth II with that of late Princess Diana. Banksy then dropped the money on crowds at the Notting Hill Carnival and at the Reading Festival.

Banksy is an anonymous England-based graffiti artist, political activist and film director. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stenciling technique.
