House of Banksy Leipzig – An Unauthorized Exhibition

In the organizer's words:

The creators of the successful exhibition "The Mystery of Banksy - A Genius Mind", which captivated visitors at the Kunstkraftwerk in 2022 and has since established itself as the most popular and therefore most successful show about the street art superstar in the world with around 3 million visitors worldwide, are back in Leipzig! And from 30 May 2025 with the new pop-up exhibition "House of Banksy Leipzig - An Unauthorized Exhibition"! In Grimmaische Straße 10 (former Esprit store), in the heart of Leipzig's city center, an unprecedented presentation of over 150 motifs by the celebrated artist will be shown on an area of 1,500 square meters. This makes the exhibition, which has already attracted around 300,000 visitors at its first two stops in Munich and Hamburg, probably the most comprehensive and popular exhibition about the street art superstar in Europe at the moment and clearly stands out from all previous Banksy presentations!

Graffiti, photographs, sculptures, video installations and prints on various materials such as canvas, fine art paper, wood, aluminum, plaster, concrete and brick were reproduced and compiled especially for this exhibition. In an elaborate and unique setting, visitors are given a comprehensive insight into the entire oeuvre of this exceptional artist.

This homage and the picture installations on display are not authorized by the artist himself due to his anonymous status. Around 80% of all the graffiti and motifs on display are now hardly or no longer accessible in their original form. They have been removed, torn down, destroyed, sprayed over or torn out of the walls and then auctioned off for a lot of money. Some of them, especially his serigraphs, are now privately owned or in the possession of art dealers.

The no less impressive reproductions, which are produced and sprayed live on site by an internationally renowned team of graffiti artists especially for each exhibition, allow the viewer to follow in Banksy's footsteps and make his art comprehensible and tangible in an unprecedented way and at close quarters.
