YEAR
2013
MEDIUM
Spray paint / stencil / installation
LOCATION
New York City (Multiple Boroughs)
COUNTRY
USA
[ DESCRIPTION ]

A month-long residency where Banksy produced a new unsanctioned work in New York City every day throughout October 2013.

[ CRITICAL ANALYSIS ]

An unprecedented sustained intervention in a global city, "Better Out Than In" treated New York as a gallery. Works ranged from the whimsical to the polemical, culminating in a Central Park canvas sale for $60 each — pieces later estimated at hundreds of thousands.
