About Tribute To Basquiat Metropolitan Police – Banksy – Pop Art Painting
It depicts a figure being frisked by two police officers, and is captioned with "Portrait of Basquiat being welcomed by the Metropolitan Police – an (unofficial) collaboration with the new Basquiat show." The second artwork shows people queuing for a Ferris wheel adorned with crowns – a common motif in Basquiat's artwork – instead of passenger carts. The caption seems to mock the Barbican's motives for holding a retrospective of works by Basquiat, who started out as a graffiti artist. It reads: "Major new Basquiat show opens at the Barbican – a place that is normally very keen to clean any graffiti from its walls."
