Original 2009 Banksy vs Bristol Museum Dorothy Poster, Official Exhibition Poster

Original Banksy vs Bristol Museum exhibition poster featuring Dorothy, issued in 2009 for Banksy’s major Bristol Museum show.

This is one of the most memorable and sought-after images from the exhibition. Banksy reimagines Dorothy with a darker, sharper tone, placing her against a raw, rust-coloured ground and giving her the line: “I don’t think we’re on canvas anymore…”. The result is witty, unsettling, and unmistakably Banksy — a work that sits somewhere between pop culture parody, social satire, and street-art icon.

What makes this poster especially compelling is that it was not an afterthought or a later decorative print. It was produced as one of the official posters for the 2009 Banksy vs Bristol Museum exhibition, a landmark show that brought Banksy’s work into one of Britain’s major institutions while retaining the irreverence and theatricality that made the exhibition so memorable. Current market listings consistently describe Dorothy as one of the official posters produced for the show. (postmodernvandal.com)

Visually, it works extremely well on the wall. The composition is simple and direct, with the figure isolated against a rich textured background that gives the whole image a sense of drama and presence. It appeals not only to Banksy collectors, but also to buyers looking for a piece with real visual punch and cultural relevance. It is equal parts exhibition history, graphic art, and modern icon.

This is an authentic original exhibition poster, not a modern reproduction.
