How can you tell an original Banksy print?
1 Answer

To tell an original Banksy print, focus on the Pest Control Certificate of Authenticity, which will accompany nearly all genuine prints by the street artist. Pest Control is the association responsible for selling and authenticating Banksy's work and is a big part of why he has remained anonymous over the years. In 2020, Pest Control updated its Certificate of Authenticity design, but you can find images of both the current and earlier certificates online to compare to yours. One of the most striking elements of both designs is a halved British 10-pound note affixed to its surface. During an authentication, Pest Control retains the other half and can match the bill fragment to the certificate. You can also pay a fee to have Pest Control perform an authentication for you. Refer to the official Pest Control website for more information. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Banksy art.
