Description

Morons (White) (2006) is one of Banksy’s most iconic and scathing critiques of the contemporary art market. This version, printed on Arches watermarked paper, comes from the unsigned edition of 500 prints released by Pictures On Walls (P.O.W.), the artist’s original publisher.

The artwork depicts an auctioneer conducting a sale in front of a packed room of bidders. The canvas on the auction block humorously displays the phrase:

“I can’t believe you morons actually buy this shit.”

With characteristic irony, Banksy mocks the speculative frenzy of the art world—particularly the absurd escalation of auction prices following historic sales like Van Gogh’s Sunflowers in 1987. The screenprint captures Banksy’s unique ability to blend dark humor, cultural commentary, and bold visual simplicity.

Accompanied by its official Pest Control certificate, this work represents one of Banksy’s most collectible and conceptually sharp editions.
