This work is undoubtedly, one of the most iconic work(s) the 21st century has seen, thus far.

”Rude Copper” is the first BANKSY screenprint that was published by Pictures on Walls (2002).

”Rude Copper” features a British police officer, easily identifiable with his traditional custodian helmet, showing his middle finger to the viewer.

Executed entirely in black and white, the officer’s face partially hidden by the shadow created by his helmet, this print illustrates Banksy’s nuanced relationship with law enforcement.

Indeed, the artist’s mural work continues to be illegal, and is still conducted under the veil of secrecy and a fiercely protected anonymity.

Banksy has extensively used various images of cops in his oeuvre, whether on murals, or originals as obviously he blames most of them for enforcing various policies such as anti-graffiti for example.

This is an absolutely iconic Banksy work.

This work was framed to true archival standard. It has been removed from the frame and a full condition report is available.

This work shows incredibly well, the red stamp is still dark and firm, the numbering from the edition is crystal clear.

APC ART has brokered, owned and FALSE many ”Rude Coppers” over the years.

This work is rarely available, and seldom seen on this type of condition.

”Rude Copper” is on permanent display at the Moca in Amsterdam.

Their edition is dry mounted to foam core backing, these are simply, incredibly hard to find in this type of nearly mint condition.

Please feel free to inquire about a complete condition report.

The work can be sent flat, it can also be reframed to museum grade standard at the clients request.

”Rude Copper” is undeniably a piece of contemporary/ street art history.

An iconic work as well as an unprecedented investment opportunity.
