Description: BANKSY - "DI-FACED TENNER (10 GBP NOTE)"OFFSET LITHOGRAPH IN COLORS ON PAPERSIZE: 3 X 5.625 INCHESYEAR: 2004 £10 note Di-Faced by Banksy with a portrait of Princess Diana on the front and the motto: "I Promise to Pay the Bearer on Demand the Ultimate Price." The back features Darwin's image and the statement: "Trust No One." From the private collection of Steve Lazarides, Banksy’s original art agent. Steve represented Banksy in his early years and brought his art into the public spotlight. The Di-faced Tenner was created for a public stunt Banksy had orchestrated that involved dropping a suitcase full of the fake currency in public, during rush hour at the Liverpool tube station in London and at the Notting Hill Carnival and Reading Festival. Later that year, an unknown amount of Tenners were also released at the exhibition preview of Santa’s Ghetto, held at Lazarides Gallery. In addition to its fascinating history as an unperformed public stunt, the Di-faced Tenner had the honor of being Banksy’s first piece of art to enter in the British Museum private collection earlier this year. Includes signed letter of provenance from Steve Lazarides. This piece was acquired by purchasing a book from Steve and he selected winners to receive the Tenner as an additional bonus piece. ARTWORK IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION ADDITIONAL IMAGES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST Artwork will be packaged properly and securely, insured for full value.
