We are pleased to present this month an iconic and highly sought-after work by the elusive British artist Banksy (born 1974). Barcode Leopard (2004) is one of the artist’s most emblematic screenprints, instantly recognizable for its sharp visual impact and powerful socio-political message.

Executed as a screenprint in black, the composition depicts a leopard escaping from a wheeled cage formed by a barcode—an image that has become synonymous with Banksy’s critique of consumerism, commodification, and systemic captivity. The work masterfully contrasts the raw energy of wildlife with the cold, standardized language of commerce, creating a metaphor that resonates across environmental, economic, and human contexts.

The present example belongs to the unsigned edition, identifiable by its red stamped signature and official numbering. Measuring 50 × 70 cm (19.68 × 27.55 in) and presented framed, the work dates from Banksy’s pivotal early 2000s period, when his imagery began to gain international recognition.

Accompanied by its official Pest Control certificate, the only recognized authority for authenticating Banksy artworks, this piece comes from a private collection in France and offers full assurance of authenticity.

Now available, Barcode Leopard represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a historically significant and culturally resonant work by one of the most influential artists of our time. The artwork is shipped worldwide from France, with professional reinforced packaging, full insurance, and tracking, ensuring a secure and seamless acquisition.
