Banksy’s Choose Your Weapons (Red) (2010) distills his trademark tension between menace and play into a single, instantly legible icon: a hooded figure holding the leash of Keith Haring’s barking dog. The stark silhouette—borrowed from the language of the street—meets this bold red, a deliberate clash that flips hierarchies of “high” and “low.” In this colorway, doesn’t just beautify; it weaponizes visibility, turning a commentary on urban power and authorship into a quietly radiant, wall-dominating emblem. It’s Banksy at his most concise: appropriating a canonized symbol of subculture, recoding it through screenprint precision, and letting the friction do the talking.
This example is a screenprint in colors, 27 1/2 × 27 1/2 in (70 × 70 cm), signed and numbered from a scarce edition of just 25. Issued in 2010 and accompanied by a PEST Control certificate of authenticity, it carries the definitive provenance standard for Banksy’s market. The rarity of the red variant, combined with its graphic punch and art-historical cross-reference, makes it a standout acquisition for both collectors focused on iconic imagery and those prioritizing blue-chip editions with tight, verifiable supply.
