“The real focus is about these three themes,” explained curator Acoris Andipa. “We’ve just chosen to explore them through the art works of Banksy, unfortunately Banksy has become such a phenomenon now that the emphasis is now on Banksy as opposed to war, capitalism and liberty. And that’s what I really wanted to explore with my co-curators are these three very important topical subjects.”

Items on show include “Rage, Flower Thrower”, “Rude Copper”, “Golf Sale” and a print of supermodel Kate Moss in the style of Andy Warhol.

The show, which is not authorized by the mystery artist himself, runs at the Palazzo Cipolla museum in the Italian capital until September 4.
