Banksy (b. 1974) Laugh Now, 2017 Screenprint in colors on wove paper 27-1/2 x 23-5/8 inches (69.8 x 60.0 cm) (sheet) Ed. 160/600 Numbered in pencil lower right This lot is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Pest Control. Banksy is one of the most influential and recognizable artists of the twenty-first century. Combining dark humor with sharp social commentary, his works address themes of power, authority, consumerism, and resistance through imagery that is both accessible and provocative. Originally created as a mural in Brighton in 2002, Laugh Now has become one of Banksy's most iconic images. Depicting a chimpanzee wearing a sandwich board bearing the warning "Laugh now, but one day we'll be in charge," the work uses satire to challenge assumptions about hierarchy and human behavior. Published as a screenprint in 2017 and authenticated by Pest Control, Laugh Now remains a quintessential example of Banksy's ability to pair simple imagery with enduring cultural relevance.
