With a painted surface area of 80 square meters (861 square feet), the 1988 Volvo FL6 is the 'largest-ever work created by Banksy,' according to auctioneers Bonhams
Bonhams said Banksy started working on the vehicle -- offered as a canvas by the co-founder of the Turbozone International Circus -- in 1999, during a New Year's Eve and millennium party in Spain.
Bonhams says the designs on the side of the truck, which is 10.1 meters long, serve as a"fascinating record of how the artist's calls for anarchy and social change were already central to his work." "Banksy is arguably the most important artist to have emerged since the millennium and this, his largest commercial work, represents a new high watermark of quality for works of his to appear at auction," Ralph Taylor, Bonhams' Global Head of Post-War & Contemporary Art, said in a press release.
