A reluctance to deal with global issues.
The 'Keep it Spotless' delivers a clear message - the Western world doesn't deal with more pressing issues. Banksy's ability to communicate critical issues is what makes him so popular. Insuring such as culturally significant piece of artwork is not only for yourself, but for others and Banksy to keep the art protected against loss, theft, and damage.
What does Banksy Keep it Spotless Art Insurance Cover?
Banksy’s Keep It Spotless is a striking convergence of street art and high-concept contemporary work, created in collaboration with American artist [Damien Hirst](https://www.bysaxon.com/collection-cover/damien-hirst-art-insurance). First unveiled in 2007, this unique piece subverts one of Hirst’s iconic “spot paintings” by overlaying it with a meticulous stencil of a hotel maid pulling back the canvas like a curtain to clean behind it. With characteristic wit and irony, Banksy challenges the pristine world of conceptual art, turning Hirst’s clinical abstraction into a stage for rebellion, labour, and hidden realities. The juxtaposition highlights themes of class, visibility, and the often-unseen work that sustains elite environments.
Keep It Spotless exemplifies Banksy’s ability to both collaborate and critique within the same gesture. The artwork merges two distinct voices: Hirst’s detached, pharmaceutical aesthetic and Banksy’s grounded, socially charged visual language. By inserting the figure of a working-class woman into the rarefied world of fine art, Banksy exposes the hidden tensions within the art market and the cultural hierarchies it reflects. The piece became the most expensive Banksy work sold at auction at the time when it fetched over $1.8 million at Sotheby’s in 2008—marking a pivotal moment in his transition from provocateur to blue-chip artist.
