The Art of Banksy: Without Limits” presented by SEE Global Entertainment opens today in the newly renovated space of Underground Atlanta.

But Banksy — who is famously anonymous and an anti-capitalist — has denounced this exhibition and several others bearing his name. On his website, he wrote, “Members of the public should be aware there has been a recent spate of Banksy exhibitions, none of which are consensual. They’ve been organized entirely without the artist’s knowledge or involvement.”

When questioned about this unauthorized exhibition, the curator, Guillermo Quintana, said, “Sure, like Banksy is not okay with these kinds of exhibitions, but they noticed that we have good intentions.”
