In keeping with Banksy's motto "Copyright is for losers ©TM", this homage and the works shown there are not authorised by the artist due to his anonymous status.
"With his creations, Banksy addresses significant truths and problems in our world to which we are all too willing to close our eyes. A Banksy work touches everyone and is addressed to everyone, whether they want it or not. This is exactly why it is so important to me personally to exhibit Banksy's works, to make them accessible to the world and to celebrate them. Banksy is making history with his art - the history that is reality for us right now," says Banksy expert Virgina Jean. The young curator and gallerist, who comes from England and lives in Berlin, is a versatile designer and unalterable creative. Banksy has always been a major influence and inspiration in her life due to her background and passion for creativity and free art as a means of communication. After many years of working in the classical art market, she created numerous projects and exhibitions in the field of street art and therefore accompanies the exhibition "The Art of Banksy - Without Limits" as an expert on Banksy's works and a specialist in the street art industry.
