Banksy work depicting MPs as chimpanzees sells for record price
Devolved Parliament reaches just under £9.9m at auction at Sotheby’s in London
Banksy's previous record for a piece sold at auction was 'Keep It Spotless', which sold for £1.87 million in New York in 2008.
Alec Branczik, European head of contemporary art at Sotheby’s, said: “Regardless of where you sit in the Brexit debate, there’s no doubt that this work is more pertinent now than it has ever been, capturing unprecedented levels of political chaos and confirming Banksy as the satirical polemicist of our time."
Banksy wrote on Instagram on 28 March: “I made this 10 years ago. Bristol museum have just put it back on display to mark Brexit day. Laugh now, but one day no one will be in charge”.
