Which city hosted Banksy’s 2006 exhibition Barely Legal?

Los Angeles hosted Banksy’s 2006 exhibition Barely Legal.

Barely Legal was a major Banksy exhibition held in Los Angeles in September 2006. It presented paintings, installations, and political imagery to a large audience and helped move Banksy’s work from specialist street-art circles into the international contemporary-art market.

One of the exhibition’s most controversial elements was a live elephant painted to resemble wallpaper. The display was intended as a comment on poverty and social indifference, although it also generated criticism over the treatment of the animal.

Barely Legal is sometimes confused with Banksy’s 2003 London exhibition Turf War or with the later Los Angeles presentation of his film Exit Through the Gift Shop. The city associated with Barely Legal is Los Angeles.
