Love Is In The Air is undoubtedly one of Banksy’s most iconic and most sought-after works of art. First appearing in 2003, Love is in the Air or Flower Thrower as it is also known, was a large stencilled piece of graffiti that appeared following the building of the West Bank Wall which stretches some 750km and separates Palestine from Israel.
As with many of the artist’s works the image has also been repurposed and given a new context in the rare CCCP Flower Thrower. Believed to be from an edition of approximately only 10, this rare work seldom appears on the open market or at auction, the iconic flower thrower - in this instance - is clad in black against the red Soviet lettering: CCCP is the acronym for Союз Советских Социалистических Республик in Russian.
