Bombing Middle England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bombing Middle England is a painting by graffiti artist Banksy. It is made of acrylic and spray paint on canvas, and depicts pensioners bowling with bombs in a manner reminiscent of Cinders McLeod's 1999 drawing Anarchic Granny.[citation needed]
In 2007, it fetched £102,000 at Sotheby's, twice its estimated value of £50,000. This marked the highest amount paid for one of Banksy's works to date, August 2018. In 2021 his half shredded version of ‘girl with balloon’ was sold for almost £20,000,000.[1]
