About this artwork
The Banksy Donuts print is a powerful work of art that combines biting satire with clever symbolism to create a delectable masterpiece. It features a procession of police escorts guarding a colossal chocolate iced donut atop a donut van, highlighting the significance of sugary food items in society. The limited release of only 299 prints in two flavours, strawberry and chocolate, is a nod to Krispy Kreme's financial struggles in 2007, which led to the closure of 299 stores. Moreover, it alludes to the celebrated speech of former US President John F. Kennedy, where his proclamation of "Ich bin ein Berliner" was misconstrued by some to imply "I am a donut."
