Photo Gallery Warhol vs. Banksy
London gallery The Hospital is showing works by Andy Warhol and the secretive British artist Banksy side by side for the first time. A woman inspects "Marilyn 29," by Andy Warhol, left, next to "Kate Moss (Black)" and "Kate Moss (Yellow)" by Banksy.
Banksy's "Kate Moss (Yellow)" superimposes a print of the supermodel's face onto Warhol's famous portrait of Marilyn Monroe. Banksy rose to fame through his graffiti-style street art works. Although his paintings now sell for thousands to collectors such as Brad Pitt, the artist's identity remains a closely guarded secret and he shuns the media.
Banksy's "Tesco Soup" is a reference to Warhol's "Campbell's Soup" screen prints.

Banksy's "Laugh Now" (2002).
"Moron" (2006) appeared on Banksy's Web site after some of his stencilled-graffiti work sold at auction for enormous sums. "I can't believe you morons buy this shit," is the caption inside the picture frame.
This untitled painting by Banksy parodies "Nighthawks" by the American artist Edward Hopper.
