Copper (Give Finger)

Banksy Screen Limited Edition

Copper (Give Finger) - Screen Ltd Edition

Banksy, an iconic British street artist (identity anonymous, emerged early 2000s), revolutionised urban art with provocative visuals that challenge power structures. His first limited-edition print, Rude Copper (also known as Copper (Give Finger)), was released in 2002 as an edition of 250 screen prints by Pictures on Walls and officially authenticated by Pest Control

In Copper (Give Finger), a British bobby wearing a traditional custodian helmet thrusts his middle finger toward the viewer. Rendered in stark black and white stenciling with strong foreshortening, the image subverts romanticised notions of law and authority, offering a satirical commentary on policing powers introduced under the 2000 Terrorism Act.

Through daring social critique and masterful stencil composition, Banksy elevated Copper from underground rebellion to global cultural icon. This original edition’s rarity, 250 in total, with signed and hand finished versions, has driven auction prices from £45,000 up to roughly £70,000, with hand-finished signed prints trading even higher.

About the Artist

Banksy

Banksy is a pseudonymous England-based street artist, political activist, and film director, known for his distinctive stenciled graffiti art and satirical, subversive themes. His identity remains unconfirmed, with speculation pointing to Bristol, England, around 1974. Banksy's work often appears in public spaces, blending graffiti with installation and performance art.
