Flying Copper (2003)
Flying Copper is one of Banksy’s earliest and most iconic artworks. The image was created for Turf War (2003), the street artist’s first show, appearing as a series of cardboard cut-outs, hanging from the ceiling surrounding Banksy’s punk portrait of Winston Churchill.
Unbelievably, this piece was once sold out of Banksy’s agent’s car boot, with a price tag of just £40. Now, some editions of this artwork have sold at auction for over £100,000.
This rebellious piece is an early example of what has become one of Banksy’s favourite topics – his dislike of the police, with him once famously stating: “My main problem with cops is that they do what they’re told. They say, ‘Sorry mate, I’m just doing my job’ all the fucking time.”
This silkscreen print is from a limited edition of 600. It is unsigned but comes with a certificate of authenticity from Pest Control.

About the artist
Combining dark humour with a distinctive approach to the stencil, Banksy’s ephemeral works of political and social commentary have made him one of the most notorious street artists of his time.
His ability to condense complex political situations into one, deceptively simple image lends every work a viral effect – a contagion which has only spread in this age of social media. Since his first graffiti works in 1990, Banksy has maintained an elusive identity: a secret that continues to fuel worldwide curiosity. His artworks have acquired a mythologised, must-see status, known informally as ‘The Banksy Effect’: wherever they appear, crowds flock to see the latest from Bristol’s mysterious master.
Banksy continues to deliver controversial street art around the world. His recent work has incorporated a variety of ephemera, including street signs, drain covers, and other urban ornaments, conveying his satirical messages through witty street-installations.
