This authorised, unnumbered print captures the artist's iconic composition featuring illuminated chandaliers and a monkey holding an upturned banana. This image represents a pivotal moment in contemporary art \u0026amp; political history. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBanksy quote “I made this ten years ago.
