The Man Who Built Banksy Is Now Building His Own Legacy
Steve Lazarides was never supposed to be the artist.
But he was the man who took a street-level icon and turned him into the most recognisable — and collectable — artist in the world.
As Banksy’s right-hand man, gallerist, and global curator, Lazarides didn’t just witness art history. He shaped it.
Now, for the first time, he's putting his name on the work — and the market is paying attention.
Why Collect Steve Lazarides?
He Built the Banksy Market
No one has a closer claim to Banksy’s rise — Lazarides didn’t just manage him, he made the market.
$1.4 Million Auction Debut
In 2024, Julian’s Auction House sold Lazarides’ personal Banksy archive for $1.4M — including a single print for over $104,000
Exclusive Work. Limited Editions
Now creating as an artist, photographer and printmaker, Lazarides’ works are produced in ultra-limited editions — and sold exclusively through Grove Gallery
Cultural Relevance, Global Reach
With exhibitions planned across London, New York and LA — and a base of collectors from Banksy to Bonhams — Lazarides’ new wave is already making noise.
From Curator to Creator. The Spotlight’s Now on Him.
Steve Lazarides has never been a background figure — but now he’s stepping forward.
His debut works carry more than his name.
They carry the weight of art history, celebrity, scandal and rebellion. And they’re already being snapped up by collectors who understand exactly what this moment represents.
These aren’t just artworks.
They’re pieces of a story the art world never thought it would get to own.
