Optima Contemporary presented a curated selection of works by Banksy at the Concours of Elegance, held within the historic grounds of Hampton Court Palace, in collaboration with Chubb.
The presentation featured Stop Sign and Agile, alongside Flower Thrower, which was displayed within the event’s exclusive VIP area. Together, the works demonstrated Banksy’s distinctive use of familiar imagery, visual wit and social commentary—from symbols of protest and resistance to reflections on resilience in the face of conflict.
Set against an exceptional display of rare and historically significant motor cars, the exhibition created a compelling dialogue between contemporary art, automotive design and collecting. The grandeur of Hampton Court Palace provided a striking setting in which visitors could encounter Banksy’s work beyond the traditional gallery environment.
The collaboration united Optima Contemporary’s expertise in significant contemporary art with Chubb Masterpiece’s specialist understanding of valuable collections, celebrating the shared importance of provenance, preservation and responsible stewardship.
