The creators of the successful exhibition "The Mystery of Banksy - A Genius Mind", which attracted over 170,000 visitors to the former Galeria Kaufhof in Mönckebergstraße 3 in 2022 and which, with over 2.5 million visitors worldwide, has established itself as the most popular and therefore most successful show about the street art superstar in the world, are back in Hamburg! And from September 13, 2024
with the new pop-up concept "House of Banksy Hamburg - An Unauthorized Exhibition"! In Große Bleichen 1 - 3, directly on the Jungfernstieg promenade, an unprecedented presentation of over 150 motifs by the celebrated artist will be shown on two floors and a total area of 1,500 square meters. This makes it probably the most comprehensive exhibition of his art in Europe to date and, like its sister exhibition in Munich, clearly stands out from all previous Banksy exhibitions!
Graffiti, photographs, sculptures, video installations and prints on various materials such as canvas, wood, aluminum, plaster, concrete, brick and Plexiglas were reproduced and compiled especially for this exhibition. In an elaborate and unique setting, visitors are given a comprehensive insight into the entire oeuvre of this exceptional artist. This homage and the picture installations on display are not authorized by the artist himself due to his anonymous status. Around 80% of all the graffiti and motifs on display are now hardly or no longer accessible in their original form.
hardly or no longer accessible. They have been removed, torn down, destroyed, sprayed over or torn out of the walls and then auctioned off for a lot of money. Some of them, especially his serigraphs, are now privately owned or in the possession of art dealers. The no less impressive reproductions, which are produced and sprayed live on site by an internationally renowned team of graffiti artists especially for each exhibition, allow the viewer to follow in Banksy's footsteps and make his art comprehensible and tangible in an unprecedented way and at close quarters.
Bilingual & barrier-free: texts in German and English. The exhibition is accessible for wheelchair users.
