Banksy in Focus: Rare Works Head to Propstore’s Pop Culture Auction

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, February 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Propstore, a leading global entertainment memorabilia auctioneer, unveils its Pop Culture: Art & Photography Auction (running online until February 11, 2026), presenting a rare opportunity to acquire works by the anonymous British street artist Banksy. The sale spans over 280 lots, from children’s TV artwork to contemporary prints, posters, music memorabilia, and photography, offering collectors pieces that balance cultural resonance with visual impact.

Among the highlights is “Cyclists Please Dismount”, a stencil on a metal street sign from Banksy’s Heavy Weaponry series. The piece depicts a missile-strapped elephant, removed from a Hackney Wick canal path in 2003 and later exhibited internationally in St Petersburg, Moscow, and Rome. This non-studio work is a rare example of Banksy’s most authentic practice, offered with a letter of provenance.

Other featured works include the 2003 “Weston Super Mare” limited-edition print, foreshadowing Banksy’s 2015 Dismaland exhibition; the 2004 “Di-Faced Tenner”, a subversive play on currency with Lady Diana replacing the Queen; and the “GDP Rat” newspaper print, a commentary on urban life and economic pressures. Each work demonstrates Banksy’s ability to merge social critique with precise, visually compelling design.

“Banksy’s work occupies a unique space between public spectacle and private collection,” Jack Coleman, Managing Director, UK, Propsrore. “Pieces like ‘Cyclists Please Dismount’ are instantly recognizable yet extraordinarily scarce, making this auction a rare chance for collectors to bring iconic street art into their own spaces.”
