MAYFAIR PAPARAZZI RAT, CIRCA 2006
Auction History
Prices are inclusive of buyer’s premium unless stated otherwise, as reported by the auction houses.
Catalogue Note
An original Banksy aerosol painting executed on a wooden door panel on Trebeck Street in the Mayfair District of London, England, circa 2006.
The door is believed to have originally been part of a restaurant known as Tiddy Dols Eating House (reportedly named after an 18th-century gingerbread seller) and is now the home of an exclusive private members club called Loulou’s. As though Banksy had predicted the future, Loulou’s has earned a reputation for attracting numerous paparazzi targets, including notable figures like Taylor Swift, Tom Cruise, and Kate Middleton.
The artwork was documented in the book “Banksy: Locations & Tours (Vol 2)” by Martin Bull (PM Press, 2011), and a copy of the book is included.
