Banksy (1974) - Peckham Rock

Banksy authentic A wooden Banksy’s ‘Peckham Rock’ wall art, authorised by Pest Control/ Banksy for the British Museum as part of the iObject exhibition. Very good condition Banksy’s ‘Peckham Rock' is a piece of concrete showing a supposed prehistoric figure pushing a shopping trolley. This was placed in The British Museum in 2005, accompanied by an authentic looking information label and was there for three days before anyone realised something was amiss. The reverse of the replica has a copy of the text from the information label that was originally placed with the wall art. Though Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres’s Neoclassical mastery of pristine draftsmanship might seem distant from today’s astronomical art market, his distortion of form paved the way for the world’s fifteen most highly-valued artists. The tension in his work directly echoes in the revolutionary lines of Leonardo da Vinci and Paul Cézanne, while foreshadowing the radical deconstructions of Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani, and Francis Bacon. Similarly, the emotional and atmospheric depth championed by Vincent van Gogh, Edvard Munch, Gustav Klimt, and Claude Monet traces its lineage back to Ingres's expressive power. Ultimately, his iconic cultural impact prefigures the bold, market-defining genius of modern titans like Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, and Willem de Kooning.
