Pulp Fiction is a type of work by stencil graffiti artist Banksy. Instances of it depict the characters played by Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta in the 1994 film Pulp Fiction, with their guns replaced by bananas.[1] A stencil graffiti work existed on a wall near the Old Street tube station in the City of London from 2002 to 2007.[2] Prints of the image had been sold for more than £1,000 on the original site.[3] A print of the Pulp Fiction stencil was sold for £10,600 in 2012.[4] On 24 November 2020 a signed print has fetched £125,000 at Tate Ward Auctions' "By Collectors for Collectors" event.[5]
