Hardly any contemporary artist fascinates as much as Banksy. His identity has been the subject of heated debate for years—yet despite numerous speculations and supposed revelations, it remains unclear to this day who is actually behind the name Banksy. The only thing that is certain is: With his socially critical works and spectacular actions, arguably the world’s most famous street artist has left a lasting mark on the art world and has been causing a global sensation for decades. The hit exhibition “The Mystery of Banksy – A Genius Mind” is dedicated to this extraordinary phenomenon and presents more than 200 works by the celebrated street art superstar in a staging unlike anything seen before.
Graffiti, photographs, sculptures, video installations, and prints on various materials—such as canvas, fabric, aluminum, Forex, and Plexiglas—were reproduced and compiled specifically for this special exhibition. “The Mystery of Banksy – A Genius Mind” offers visitors a comprehensive overview and insight into the complete body of work of this genius and exceptional artist in an elaborate and unique setting. True to Banksy’s motto, “Copyright is for losers ©TM,” this tribute and the works on display are not authorized by the artist, as his identity remains unconfirmed to this day.

When it comes to street art, there’s no getting around him: Banksy, arguably the world’s most famous—and certainly its most mysterious—graffiti artist. According to estimates, this British artist, who is believed to be around 50 years old, continues to keep his identity a secret. His works are taking the world by storm, not only on the streets but also in auction houses—and with great success: He is currently considered one of the most expensive contemporary artists!
Banksy is without doubt the undisputed king of street art, a brilliant mind and star artist who touches people with his sometimes ironic, sometimes political, but always poetic works and speaks to them from the soul. Banksy is a star far beyond the boundaries of the art market. Back in 2010, Time magazine included him for the first time on its list of the 100 most influential people in the world, alongside personalities such as Barack Obama, Steve Jobs and Lady Gaga.
