Shop Till You Drop by Banksy is a mural painted in November 2011 in London’s Mayfair district, created to highlight the dangers of consumerism. It is one of the best-preserved works in London, partly due to its high placement above ground. Scaffolding and tarpaulins were reportedly used to help protect the work and conceal the artist during its creation.
Banksy is an anonymous graffiti artist who is believed to have been born in Bristol, England. He first gained recognition as a freehand graffiti artist. Banksy displays his art on publicly visible surfaces, such as walls and self-built physical props. He is known for his anti-authoritarian work, often created in public spaces. With wry wit and stealth, Banksy has merged graffiti with installation and performance art. The street is where he first captured global attention. Each piece was created on the fly, working in the dark, getting paint on his hands and mud on his clothes, while carefully avoiding both the police and the public.
Banksy’s Graffiti Art is the most extensive official photographic record of the original works that have defined the world-renowned artist’s career. Photographers from this collection were often the first on the scene within hours of Banksy completing a piece. Large-format cameras were used to capture each work in detail, showcasing the full scope of his art, he strategic locations, the surfaces he used, and the way he incorporated physical elements to create powerful public statements. Over the years, this project has built a curated archive of original photographic files, forming a meticulous, never-before-seen Forever Collection of high-quality Banksy graffiti art prints.
This print is part of the Banksy’s Graffiti Art collection, embossed with an official logo and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring provenance.
