    The image is inspired by the, then, World-record auction of Van Gogh's Sunflowers at Christie's London in 1987.

    Morons was first released on Banksy’s own website following a record-breaking auction result for one of his canvases in 2007. Part of the infamous Barely Legal set, here are three editions of this work: 150 signed works with brown frame, 150 works with a gold frame (LA Edition) and 500 unsigned black and white works. 
    The artwork satirises a historical photo of the 1987 auction at Christie’s London where Van Gogh’s Sunflowers was purchased for £64,389,919 GBP - at the time a record-setting amount for a work of art. Morons brilliantly pokes fun at and dismantles the precious artworld and, with it, calls into question the concept of value, the nature of art and critiques wider capitalist society.

    Taking aim at the artworld is nothing new to Banksy. Both in his street works and studio releases, Banksy has poked and provoked the art establishment - oher examples show commentaries on consumerism like Banksquiat. Explore Banksy prints for sale.
