There is no surprise the announcement of an official Banksy exhibition has prompted a frenzy among art lovers.
The graffiti artist has captured the imaginations of people across the globe and the Glasgow display will mark the first time Banksy has showcased the stencils used to create the work.
The exhibition, due to open in the city's Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) on Sunday, will be the first solo show authorised by the artist in 14 years.

To mark the announcement, The Herald released a souvenir front page featuring artwork created by the artist.
Following unprecedented demand, coming from all corners of the globe, additional copies of the commemorative issue have been made available.
Fans of the artist can purchase their own issue on our website HERE.
The show has been titled CUT & RUN: 25 years card labour and it will run until August 28.
Banksy told The Herald: “I’ve kept these stencils hidden away for years, mindful they could be used as evidence in a charge of criminal damage. But that moment seems to have passed, so now I’m exhibiting them in a gallery as works of art. I’m not sure which is the greater crime.”
