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 ã102,000 at Sotheby's, twice its estimated value of ã50,000. This marked the highest amount paid for one of Banksy's works to date, August 2018. In 2021 his half shredded version of âÂÂgirl with balloonâ was sold for almost ã20,000,000.
The motif featured in Bombing Middle England was released as a limited edition series of screen prints in 2005 by publishers Pictures on Walls. The series consisted of 50 signed versions and 500 unsigned versions.
