BANKSY - GREENPEACE SAVE OR DELETE

Offset lithograph on recycled paper. Comes with the original sticker set. Unframed.

Originally commissioned by Greenpeace for their “Save or Delete” campaign to highlight the problems of global deforestation and combat the illegal trade in logging. The original artwork features some of the main characters from The Jungle Book, the iconic Disney story, which were then transposed onto a photographic image of a devastated forest for the campaign. This new image was intended for use on Greenpeace posters, billboards and postcards, which were printed but never put into circulation because of the protectionist policies and legal threats from Disney. The original sold for £78,000 at Bonhams. Whilst the majority of the prints were sent to be recycled.
