Bombing Middle England

Bombing Middle England is a painting by graffiti artist Banksy. It is made of acrylic and spray paint on canvas, and depicts pensioners bowling with bombs in a manner reminiscent of Cinders McLeod's 1999 drawing Anarchic Granny.

In 2007, it fetched £102,000 at Sotheby's, twice its estimated value of £50,000. This marked the highest amount paid for one of Banksy's works to date.[1]
