Banksy kept under spare bed to go on display in Salford

May 23,2022 3:35 am

A Banksy that has spent most of its time wrapped in a blanket under its owner's spare bed is to Go On display for the First Time in a decade.

Leopard and Barcode was offered to the organisers of The Art of Banksy after The Show , which opens on 21 October in Salford's MediaCityUK, was announced.

Banksy originally created it on A House near Bristol in 1999 or 2000 and it was saved by a local architect in 2010.

The Exhibition 's curators said it was a " privilege" to be able to show it.

The Work depicts a leopard walking away from a barcode, which has been made to look like a cage with its bars bent.

A spokesman for The Exhibition said The Anonymous artist sprayed it " on the side of A House in Nailsea" near his home city of Bristol and had been " destined to be lost forever when The House was scheduled for demolition in 2010".

However, He Said a local architect had " spotted its significance and got permission to save the artwork, spending A Day chiselling it off the wall".

He Said The Work had spent most of The Time since " wrapped in a blanket under The Architect 's spare bed" and had been shown only once " at The Local school where his wife worked".

He added that the owner, who wished to remain anonymous, offered it to The Exhibition in Salford after it was announced and as a late inclusion, it would be shown a little differently to the rest of the exhibits.

" In keeping with the ethos of having Street Art free to view by The Public , Leopard and Barcode will be displayed in the foyer of The Art of Banksy, giving The Public the opportunity to come and enjoy it free of charge, " He Said .

The Show , which has previously been held in A Number of locations around The World , will bring together 145 authenticated works by The Artist , including well-known pieces like Girl With Balloon (2002), Flower Thrower (2003) and Rude Copper (2002).

It will also include Brace Yourself (2010), a work which Banksy gifted to The Band formerly known as Exit Through The Gift Shop in exchange for the rights to their name.
