Banksy's Graffiti – "The Simpsons"
Limited Edition Lithographic Print | Captured in New Orleans, 2008 | Certificate of Authenticity Included
In 2008, Banksy arrived in New Orleans following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and left behind one of his most culturally loaded works. In a brilliant parody of The Simpsons' iconic opening scene, Banksy’s version shows Bart Simpson writing a chalkboard confession: “I must not copy what I saw on The Simpsons.”
Painted on the side of a wall at 1606 N. Robertson St., this piece blends humor, social commentary, and post-Katrina grit. It challenges pop culture, mass media, and the fragility of public memory in the aftermath of tragedy.
This limited edition lithograph is a rare archival print, captured in situ at the original site before the piece disappeared. Authenticated and officially licensed, it embodies the impermanence of street art and the timelessness of Banksy’s wit.
