About the work
HMV was published by Pictures on Walls in 2003 and depicts, in black and white, a small dog aiming a bazooka at an antique grammar phone. It is a tongue in cheek play on the famous painting 'His Master's Voice' (1899), which was later employed for the logo of the eponymous high street music retailer, a ubiquitous sight on British high streets in the 2000s.
Commenting on the forward march of music consumption and commercialisation, Banksy reframes the image to question nostalgia and the commodification of art. HMV Dog was first stencilled in Bristol prior to Banksy's move to London, but was repainted in 2003 on the courtyard wall of the Cargo Club, a nightclub in London's Shoreditch area.
HMV is presented in pristine condition and includes the official artist stamp in red ink. It comes complete with a Certificate of Authenticity; issued by Pest Control.
