Banksy’s “Vote to Love” Was Sold for $1.5 Million
Banksy’s Brexit-themed
spray print “Vote to Love” (2018) was sold for £1.155 million (approx. $1.5
million) at Sotheby’s London Contemporary Art Evening Auction on February 11.
The buyer is the American banker Bartow Morgan. It is interesting that in 2018,
“Vote to Love” was submitted by Banksy to the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition
under the pseudonym and was rejected. The artwork got into the show only when
the artist resubmitted it under his own name.
