Banksy

The anonymous street artist whose stencil works—subversive, darkly comic, politically charged—appear on walls from Bethlehem to Bristol. 'Love is in the Bin' (self-shredded at auction in 2018) resold for £18.6 million in 2021. His anonymity, theatrics, and political resonance have made him the most culturally discussed artist of the 21st century's first two decades.
