Banksy’s Che (Dollar) is an iconic early screen print that reworks Alberto Korda’s famous portrait of Che Guevara, replacing the beret star with a dollar sign to deliver a sharp critique of capitalism and commodification. Bold and instantly recognisable, the image distils Banksy’s political voice into a single striking statement. Originally handed out to VIP guests at Banksy’s Turf War exhibition in London, 2003.  The work is closely tied to a pivotal moment in the artist’s early career and remains one of his most recognisable political prints.
