The Art of Banksy X HOME- ‘Plot 10’ River Street
There’s still plenty to be announced about this, but we are on tenterhooks waiting for news on ‘the world’s largest collection of authenticated works by Banksy’. Due to launch this September, this exhibition is in association with HOME, and they are creating a purpose-built ‘plot 10’ art museum on River Street in the city centre solely for this. Although Banksy himself has not authorised this exhibition, it is said to showcase a large number of prints, canvases and sculptures of his work. You can sign up for Home’s newsletter to be the first to hear more.
