Banksy - Monkey Queen - Unsigned screenprint

Screenprint on paper by Banksy, Monkey Queen twists one of the most iconic images of Queen Elizabeth II by transforming the British sovereign into a monkey. The black-and-white stencil shows the monkey with the royal crown and jewels and appears against a background in the colors of the Union Jack, resembling a target (or a halo?).

Among the artist's most controversial and provocative works, it made its first appearance in the London club Chill Out Zone and made headlines when the government demanded the removal of the work from the front window during the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II (the celebration for the 50th anniversary of her coronation).

Monkey Queen was created in 2003 and measures 34.5x49.2 cm. It is a limited edition of 750 pieces of which 600 unsigned and 150 signed. The available piece is numbered and unsigned and is provided with the Pest Control certificate of authentication.

The monkey: Banksy and social satire

The monkey is one of the iconic animals in Banksy's artistic production: not only is it a recurring subject of his works, but Banksy himself wears a monkey mask in the documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop, as a guarantee of anonymity.

Monkey Queen also reminds Laugh Now, a 2003 screenprint that shows a monkey wearing a sign that reads "Laugh now, but one day we'll be in charge." The monkey is thus both the artist's alter-ego and a means of ironizing human arrogance and stupidity.

Another work that must be mentioned is Devolved Parliament, the oil on canvas sold at Sotheby's for the record price of £8.5 million. The entire British parliament is now replaced by chimpanzees, a provocative critique of power and politics.
