An aerosol stencil depicting a squadron of armed military helicopters with the lead “chopper” dressed in a pink bow. Signed by Banksy using a multi-colored layered font. This board originally was used to prevent the public from accessing a construction site in Central London at the Whitecross Street Market in 2002. This street work is an early example of Banksy’s helicopter motif, an image which he has revisited numerous times and has since become an iconic part of his repertoire. Includes a signed document from Steve Lazarides of “Lazarides Gallery,” Banksy’s agent at the time, verifying authenticity. 42 by 23 1/2 inches Categories:
