Kate Moss has taken the place of Marylin Monroe in a version of the iconic Andy Warhol image.

Guerilla artist Banksy has given the supermodel a make over as part of his latest exhibition.

The image will stand alongisde the original Warhol version in the Banksy Vs Warhol exhibition The Hospital in London.

Banksy started as a freehand graffiti artist in the late 1990s as one of Bristol's DryBreadZ Crew (DBZ) but following years of avoiding the police and decorating walls around Bristol Banksy is being recognised by the art world.

In August 2005, Banksy painted nine images on the Israeli West Bank barrier, including an image of a ladder going up and over the wall and an image of children digging a hole through the wall.

Earlier this year, Transport for London painted over Banksy's iconic image of a scene from Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, with Samuel L Jackson and John Travolta clutching bananas instead of guns. Although the image was very popular, Transport for London claimed that the "graffiti" created a general atmosphere of neglect and social decay which in turn encourages crime.
