Banksy | Peckham Rock

Banksy (b. c.1974)
Peckham Rock
Wooden postcard | British Museum release, 2018

In 2005 Banksy secretly hung a slab of fake cave art in the British Museum's Roman Britain gallery: a hunter pushing a shopping trolley, accompanied by a mock museum label. It went unnoticed for around three days.

The museum later joined in on the joke. In 2018, the year of its exhibition I Object: Ian Hislop's Search for Dissent, it released this wooden postcard replica of the piece, made with Pest Control's permission. The reverse is printed with the wording of the original mock label, so the joke travels with the object.

Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey and London.
