Banksy “Building castles in the sky”: the exhibition not to be missed in New York
The must-see exhibition if you are in New York this summer.
Nothing better to escape the big heat of the big apple in summer than to take refuge in its museums. After having toured the emblematic places such as the Met, Gugghenheim or the MoMa, why not go local and visit one of the trendiest neighborhoods to discover the new Banksy exhibition Building Castles in the Sky ?
Located on the Lower East Side, in the former International Center of Photography Museum, the exhibition takes place in the heart of Manhattan’s most interesting artistic area, where many urban artists have left their mark.
An incredible collection of original and authenticated pieces that opens the doors to the mysterious universe of the artist whose identity is still the subject of speculation. A deeper look at Banksy’s highly thought-provoking urban art that uses stencil paint to get a message across. These include some of his most iconic works: Girl with Balloon, Love is in the Air (Flower Thrower), Bomb Hugger, Family Target, Gangsta Rat, Mickey Snake, Rubber Ducky and Toxic Mary.
« Banksy continues to push boundaries and challenge societal morality with his ironic, iconic and irreverent style. His identity is only a small fraction of the mystery, as his work is truly the metaphorical iceberg that penetrates deep into the heart of humanity, the surface of which his work only scratches. » told us the organizers Stefano Antonelli and Gianluca Marziani.
The exhibition features over 120 original works of art, it is open to the public until September 5, 2022 at 250 Bowery Street. Find all the necessary information ici.
