Exhibition: Who Needs Colour . . . : original paintings, drawings and prints by Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, Hockney, Riley, Haring, Hirst and Banksy for sale

Banksy's signed print "Applause" was first released in 2006 during the renowned Barely Legal exhibition, held in a Los Angeles warehouse. "Applause" is part of the iconic Barely Legal set, which also includes "Grannies," "Trolleys," "Morons," and "Festival." Measuring approximately 80 x 112 cm, "Applause" is the largest Banksy print. The artwork depicts a fighter jet on an aircraft carrier's runway, inspired by a famous image of former U.S. President George W. Bush delivering the "Mission Accomplished" speech after the Iraqi invasion. Flanking the jet are two air traffic controllers in bright yellow, high-visibility jackets, preparing the jet for takeoff. One controller holds a sign reading "APPLAUSE," similar to those used in comedy theatres to prompt the audience to cheer on cue.
