Gross Domestic Product, the Anglo-Saxon economic term to say "Gross domestic product" and which can literally be interpreted also as "Disgusting object for the home", is the ambiguous name that Banksy chooses for its temporary store set up for online sales. line only for a few days of October 2019. The purchase does not take place immediately but by drawing lots among all those who answer the question "Does art matter? - Is art important?" Banksy's first Rats begin to appear on the streets of his native city; subsequently, with the progressive international evolution of the artist, the mythical mice invade the streets of the most famous metropolises in the world. It is justified to say that the rat, hated, hunted and persecuted, is the "signature", the distinctive and favorite artistic sign of Banksy inspired by Blek Le Rat, a Parisian street artist.

CONDITION REPORT: The print paper is very thin and slightly creased. Quality and details give off a brilliant shine.
