About this artwork

Banksy's 'Rat Race Clock' was a popular item from his Gross Domestic Product store in London. The clock featured a rat running inside a classic-style round clock face, serving as a commentary on the monotonous and relentless nature of modern day life. The rat, a recurring motif in Banksy's work, is a symbol of the underprivileged and the overlooked, and is often used by the artist to raise awareness about social and political issues. The clock, with its simple design and clever use of symbolism, has become a sought-after piece of art, and is a reminder of Banksy's unique ability to blend wit and creativity to make a powerful statement.
