"An exhibition of remixed masterpieces, vandalised oil paintings and vermin".
The exhibition was held on Westbourne Grove in Notting Hill from October 14th - 24th, 2005, in a pop-up venue where live rats scurried amongst the artworks on display.
The card promotes the work 'Kate', which Banksy released at the same time (in this, the original colourways) in silkscreen editions. The simple and rudimentary Banksy prints previously published by his company, P.O.W. (Pictures on Walls), were taken to a new level of sophistication with the 'Kate' silkscreens and opened up a new market and surge of interest in his work.
In the work, the British supermodel Kate Moss is immortalised in the style of Andy Warhol's 'Marilyn'.
