A Banksy print showing people in an auction room bidding for a work with the words I Can't Believe You Morons Actually Buy This Shit on it is expected to sell for a five-figure sum.
Morons, which is valued at about STG10,000 ($A18,250), is one of more than 70 works by the secretive street artist going on display in London at a selling exhibition organised by auction house Sotheby's.
Other works in the show, where prices range from STG4000 to more than STG500,000, include Pest Control - Banksus Militus Vandalus.
The work - a stuffed rat with a spray can and the words Our Time Will Come painted on a wall - was secretly installed in the Natural History Museum in 2004 where it stayed for two hours until staff spotted it and took it down.
Gallery director Fru Tholstrup said Banksy was more than just a street artist.
"He is a true cultural phenomenon of our time," she said.
"Although we all feel we know the images he's produced over the years, there's hardly ever been an opportunity to see together the full range of his best-known works."
