In 2019, the artwork became Banksy's most costly to date, selling for £9.9 million ($12.2 million) at Sotheby's in London on October 3, 2019.[1][2][3]
2009 oil-on-canvas painting by Banksy
The work measures 2.5 m × 4.2 m (8 ft 2 in × 13 ft 9 in).[3] It was titled Question Time when first shown at the Bristol Museum & Art Gallery's 2009 Banksy show.[2] It was sold to a private collector in 2011.[3] The depiction of chimpanzees echoes Banksy's 2002 work Laugh Now, a 6-foot-long stencilled work showing a row of apes wearing aprons with the inscription "Laugh now, but one day we'll be in charge".[3]
A reworked and retitled version of the painting was exhibited in Bristol in March 2019, with changes to details such as a banana and some lamps.[3] Banksy commented, "Laugh now, but one day no-one will be in charge".[3]
