After making an impression on millions around the world - and making an appearance in Wellington in 2024, 'The Art of Banksy' exhibit is set to hit Auckland.

Banksy is one of the world's most famous artists with a significant global following, but his identity remains unknown - despite exhibitions of his work selling out and attracting interest.

Banksy didn't personally curate this exhibit, but producer and curator Michel Boersma says he's had dealings with the artists.

"People have a view of Banksy as this sort of Robin Hood figure in general - we've done this in 90 cities around the world and in general, you get this whole Robin Hood kind of thing. We are dealing with collectors and collectors who buy art, often direct from Banksy - art that he's created to sell for his own lifestyle."
