I cannot restrain this impulse, and therefore I will start with my subjective opinion: I love Banksy's work and his contribution to the development of street art. And "Girl with a Balloon" occupied the screen of my phone for probably most of my youth. On this, the lyrical digression, perhaps, needs to be turned off.
So, in January 2021, the blockchain company Injective Protocol bought the original Banksy stencil from the Taglialatella gallery . This stencil was one of 500 original copies signed by the author of the work. Buying works of art is normal, but the excitement was caused by something else ...
Who is this Banksy?
For those who are not in the subject. Banksy is an anonymous underground street art artist based in England. Naturally, Banksy is a pseudonym. The real name, surname and even the origin of the author are not known. And there are still controversies around his biography.
His work became famous for the fact that with their help Banksy challenged the social and political aspects of modern society. They are filled with satire and often black humor.
