The print was originally released during Banksy’s “Barely Legal” show held in 2006 in a warehouse in Los Angeles. It was later sold by POW in 2007 with signed and unsigned white versions, as well as, signed sepia version. The LA edition differed from those released by POW by an addition of a gold frame around the auctioned picture within the print. There are a limited number of signed LA prints in circulation that never went on general sale.

The ‘Morons’ print is a satirical take on the contemporary art market. It was ironically included in Sotheby’s 2014 exhibition and sale curated by Steve Lazarides titled “Banksy: The Unauthorized Retrospective.”
