Bunch of Flowers is a hand-finished screenprint on board, executed in 2021 by Banksy — the most celebrated, widely collected, and culturally consequential street artist in the history of the medium — from a varied series, initialled and inscribed with a heart in black crayon on the front, and signed and inscribed "THIS WAY UP X BANKSY" with an arrow on the reverse. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from Pest Control — Banksy's official authentication body — this work represents an acquisition of exceptional rarity, personal significance, and enduring collector importance.
The designation "varied series" is of central importance to the collector significance of this work. Unlike Banksy's standard numbered editions — in which each impression is identical — works from a varied series are individually hand-finished by the artist, ensuring that no two impressions are alike. Each work in the series carries unique hand-applied elements that make it simultaneously part of a defined artistic project and a wholly individual object — a distinction that places varied series works among the most sought-after and collector-desirable in Banksy's entire printed output. The initialling and heart inscription in black crayon on the front further confirm the direct and personal involvement of the artist in the finishing of this specific impression, giving it a quality of intimate authorship and physical presence that is rarely encountered in the print market.
Bunch of Flowers belongs to one of the most enduring and resonant visual traditions in Banksy's practice — the flower, deployed across two decades of street interventions, prints, and paintings as a symbol of hope, defiance, beauty, and the persistence of joy in the face of violence and institutional power. From his celebrated Flower Thrower mural to his numerous floral interventions on walls across the world, Banksy has consistently returned to the flower as his most fundamental and universally human visual statement — a motif that transcends the immediate occasion of its making to speak directly and without irony to the most basic human desires for beauty, peace, and the small acts of grace that make life worth living. In Bunch of Flowers, this motif is rendered with the directness, physical immediacy, and emotional generosity of a work hand-finished by the artist himself — a work that carries in its initialling, its heart, and its "THIS WAY UP X BANKSY" inscription on the reverse the full weight of Banksy's characteristic combination of wit, warmth, and disarming sincerity.
