Details added to the catalog : By the use of the term "after", the auction house does not guarantee that this work is that of BANKSY, or even that it was produced under its control. The English organization Pest Control acting on behalf of Banksy does not comment on works from Street Art produced outside the commercial network. The visual analysis of the support (condition, drill holes, etc.) nevertheless allows us to confirm that this sign was probably produced and used as part of a public demonstration.
