Banksy, Rivera, Haring — how well do you know street art and murals?
Banksy's 'Girl with Balloon' shredded itself moments after being sold for $1.4 million at Sotheby's — and then sold for $25 million three years later as 'Love is in the Bin.' This 50-question trip through street art and muralism spans Diego Rivera and Los Tres Grandes of Mexican Muralism, 1970s NYC subway writers like TAKI 183 and Lady Pink, Keith Haring and Basquiat, Shepard Fairey's Obey and Obama 'Hope' poster, JR, Os Gemeos, Swoon, and Banksy's most famous stunts.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll explore Mexican Muralism's post-revolution boom with Rivera, Orozco, and Siqueiros, the late-1960s Philadelphia and 1970s NYC subway graffiti scenes documented in 'Subway Art,' the rise of Haring and Basquiat, Banksy's iconic works from 'Flower Thrower' to 'Devolved Parliament,' street art techniques like throw-ups, wildstyle, and burners, and the global mural festivals from POW! WOW! to Nuart.
Los Tres Grandes ('The Three Greats') are Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros — the three Mexican muralists who led the government-sponsored muralism movement after the 1910 Mexican Revolution. Their works shaped public art worldwide.
Banksy is an anonymous England-based street artist active since the 1990s, widely believed to be linked to Bristol and popularly associated with Robin Gunningham. His satirical stenciled works and stunts, like the self-shredding 'Girl with Balloon,' have made him the most famous street artist in the world.
Graffiti traditionally centers on lettering and name-based tags, throw-ups, and pieces made with spray paint. Street art is a broader term covering stencils, wheatpastes, stickers, murals, and installations, often with more figurative or conceptual imagery aimed at a wider public audience.
