Strawberry Donut

(After) Banksy (b. 1974, England) “Strawberry Donut” (2018) is reproduction limited edition (19/35) Giclee print with very high pigment color. (Pigment Graphics.) The piece is hand numbered and titled in pencil in the lower left and the signature imprimee is in the lower right of the 21.5 xx 33.5-inch (unframed) work on Fine Art 260 gsm paper. Depicted is a truck with a huge donut attached to the roof. The truck is being protected and flanked by a police escort, perhaps referring to the stereotype that police officers love donuts. The image was released in the form of limited-edition screen prints in 2009 and came in two flavors (versions): chocolate and strawberry.

On November 26, 2018, one of Banksy’s 2009 ‘Strawberry Donut’ screen prints, signed in pink ink and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from Pest Control Office was sold at Sotheby’s London for almost $45,000.
