31 of Banksy’s Most Important Artworks

20. Di Faced Tenner

In 2004, Banksy defaced a million pound worth of tenner bills and replaced the Queen’s face with that of Princess Diana’s. He also replaced “Bank of England” with “Banksy of England”. The bills were dropped like confetti into crowds at the Notting Hill Carnival and The Reading Festival. This artwork caused a commotion as there were people who tried to actually use the bills as currency.

21. No Trespassing

Found in Mission Hills in San Francisco, Banksy incorporated a “no trespassing” sign into his artwork. It showed a Native American dressed in traditional garb and holding the sign. It was a play on the irony of the natives – the actual founders of the country – being displaced by the “civilized” American.
