Despite the widespread attention to his works, the identity of the British artist, who is probably around 45 years old, is still unknown. He started his career in the 90s in Bristol. The artist creates his graffiti professionally, his stencils appear on public buildings around the world almost overnight.

At the same time, he also produces custom-made works for good deeds. His political and poetic works have become icons, just as has Banksy himself.

Banksy's street art is difficult to transport to museums because of the stone canvases on which it is created. And his movable works, such as paintings and drawings, are simply priceless and carefully guarded in private hands.

He is world famous and mysterious at the same time. Banksy, a native of Bristol, is still an unnamed graffiti artist and painter, who is known for defying the boundaries of the art market and has been making a splash with his work for many years.

An exhibition in Munich called The Mystery of Banksy - A Genius Mind unprecedentedly displays more than 100 works of the famous superstar of street art: graffiti, photographs, sculptures, video installations and prints on various materials such as canvas, fabric, aluminum, forex and plexiglass, have been reproduced and collected together specifically for this collection.
