Buy Banksy I Fought The Law Signed & Unsigned Print

Released in 2004, Banksy’s I Fought the Law was produced in a signed edition of 150 and an unsigned edition of 500 as well as a set of 32 Artist Proofs (8  orange, 8 pink, 8 yellow, 8 red). The central image for the work is inspired by the shocking footage of the attempted assassination attempt of U.S President Ronald Regan by John Hinkley. Hinkley, diagnosed as a delusional schizophrenic, believed that actress Jodi Foster would be impressed with him if he killed the President. In total, five shots were fired with no casualties.
Laying wounded, pinned down by armed CIA agents, Hinkley casts a macabre and sinister figure as the full force of his rebellion is crushed by the state. Nullified, the would-be assassin has attempted to fight the law (a reference to the 1979 Clash song of the same name) and lays paralised - grievous action failed as the establishment takes over.

Banksy takes inspiration from the world of music in a variety of works. Often choosing figures or movements associated with counter culture such as the iconic HMV dog and the mod movement of the 60’s in Monkey Queen and draws from Hip Hop in Gangsta Rat..Explore Banksy prints for sale.
