Few know who Bansky is - by design I presume. He is, however, the most talked about global artist of the moment. His work will have you wondering does art imitate life or does life imitate art?

If you are a student of Marcel Duchamp and Duchamp is the father of “art imitating life”, then Andy Warhol is the stepchild of the movement, and Bansky is its prodigal son. The sometimes prodigious art of Banksy has made its way to Miami.

So, with a large scale traveling museum-worthy exhibition featuring over 100 works, has the prodigal son of controversial art gone commercial? The better question is do we care, and, the answer is no, we do not.

Bansky’s tapestry of art is a parody. If imitation is the ultimate flattery he has managed to flatter Campbell’s soup, Charlie Brown, and Kate Moss, among others. He also manages to make us think - about war, commercialism, race, peace, religion, immigration, love - and even hope.

Most notably, the elusive Banksy's famed shredded artwork, 'Love Is in the Bin,' sold for a record $25.4 million at Sotheby's—18 times the non-shredded price of the picture boasting his most famed art piece - featuring a girl with a red ballon. What’s good for the art world is good for the art world.

The curiosity is not what Bansky will create next, it is what illusions he may deconstruct. He is, after all, without limits.

The Bansky exhibition”The Art of Bansky - “Without Limits” is in Miami until April 2022 at 1400 N. Miami Avenue Tickets are about $35. None of the works are for sale. The gift shop entry is free. Go to www.artofbanksy.com/miami for more information.
