Spotted this afternoon in Chinatown, SF. Thrilled to see one of his pieces in person. Up close, the stencil details are incredible. Banksy’s film, Exit through the Gift Shop, opened in cities on April 16 and is showing at the Embarcadero here in SF. Look forward to seeing it this week. It’s funny that they had to put up a sign in Chinese letting the SF cops know “it’s not graffiti” so they wouldn’t sandblast it. The irony of course is that it is graffiti – just officially sanctioned graffiti.
Updated 4/25: Thanks to Steve Rhodes for pointing me to this set by Warholian of all 6 Banksy pieces spotted in SF so far.
