A major exhibition is opening in Rome featuring the work of secretive British street artist, Banksy. The show features over 100 paintings, prints and sculptures and is thought to be the first time such a large collection of the artist's work has been brought together in a curated exhibition. Emmanuele Emanuele, chairman of the foundation hosting the exhibition, said it addressed three central themes of 21st Century life within Banksy's work: "War, the changing nature of capitalism and the fight for individual liberty – this is what is radically changing the face of our society.” Whether the elusive artist will turn up at his own show, which runs until 4 September, remains to be seen.
