Exit Options at Maturity 🚪
We will manage the exit strategy in collaboration with our expert TGB on behalf of our investors, ensuring the best possible outcome based on market conditions at the time. Depending on the prevailing market situation, the painting will be sold to a private collector or offered as a single lot at an auction for contemporary art. An auction is considered if the price has developed to the point where the minimum bid matches the market value and there is high demand for works by the artist. Both options are carefully considered, and we will choose the one that maximizes the return for our investors.

Why Invest in This Asset? 💎
Banksy’s AGILE is more than a work of art; it’s a culturally resonant and historically anchored piece created during a moment of global crisis. Issued in 2022 to support the Legacy of War Foundation’s efforts in Ukraine, AGILE captures the artist’s signature mix of irreverence and social critique. The image — a falling mouse clawing away the “FR” in FRAGILE to form AGILE — is both a visual pun and a symbol of resilience. Its relevance continues to echo in the public conscience, making it highly desirable.
As one of only 50 signed and hand-finished editions, each with individual marks (notably, scratched using a pizza cutter by the artist himself), AGILE is far rarer than most Banksy prints. It was also among the first to receive a physical Certificate of Authenticity (COA) directly in-hand from Pest Control, adding further confidence to provenance — a major factor in the Banksy market.
This print is already demonstrating auction market validation, with prices between £40,000 and £80,000 recorded in recent years. Its balanced projected CAGR of 20.1% over a 3-year period is based on historical comparables from similar Banksy editions (e.g., Jack and Jill, Rat Clock, Pulp Fiction), and the current entry is aligned with fair market value (€87,359 pre-fees). This suggests a strong value base with healthy upside potential, further supported by moderate volatility for this segment of the Banksy market.
In addition, Banksy’s global recognition, strong collector base, and consistent auction performance offer this piece both blue-chip security and emotional value. From London to Los Angeles, Banksy’s name draws attention — and AGILE is a rare opportunity to hold a piece directly tied to both the artist’s legacy and a pivotal moment in modern history.
