While not directly designer toy related, we feel safe in saying that most fans of art toys also enjoy the artwork of the notorious UK street artist
Banksy, whose entire career will be celebrated in the upcoming “
War, Capitalism & Liberty” exhibition. A truly ambitious display, this massive retrospective “is the largest collection of work by the artist known as Banksy, a corpus of over 120 works including sculptures, stencils, and other artistic expressions, all strictly from private collectors and, therefore, absolutely not removed from the street," said Banksy art dealer and the exhibition’s co-curator, Acoris Andipa. "The work critically examines contemporary issues of war, consumerism, and politics, and this is the first time a major collection of artwork by the artist, now considered the world’s best street artist, has been curated from private international collectors by an independent and important museum." Taking place from May 24th through September 4th, 2016, the “
War, Capitalism & Liberty” exhibition will be held at Rome's Fondazione Terzo Pilastro – Italia e Mediterraneo (Palazzo Sciarra, via M. Minghetti 17). Tickets to the event are
on sale now.
