Description
The largest presentation of works by Banksy, the world’s most enigmatic yet highly sought-after artist, including iconic works, installation objects, ephemera, and memorabilia all in one volume. Banksy is the world’s most discussed artist of recent decades, and this seminal collection features hundreds of works including Girl with Balloon, Pulp Fiction, Love Is in the Air, Barcode, and Monkey Queen. It also includes scores of paintings, serigraphs, stencils, and installation objects as well as a selection of memorabilia—many of which have never been published previously. Created with the cooperation of Pest Control, the group that manages all things Banksy, this is as official and authorized as any Banksy publication could be. Banksy is the world’s greatest practitioner of street art. His work has always been political, involving pointed critiques of inequality, injustice, consumerism, and the establishment, yet no one knows his identity. He is an exemplary case of fame and notoriety built upon absence and anonymity. His relationship with the art market is also complex: marked by mocking hostility while being one of the most marketable and most collected contemporary artists.

Must Have for Banksy Fans
The element of mystery is still there and is captured wisely in this book. If you think you know who Banksy is and that this book will answer that question, don't hold your breath. What this book shows is the evolution of the works of Banksy, some never before or less familiar images nicely bound into a great coffee table book for you and your guest to enjoy, admire, awe, and debate on the ideology and thoughts behind these great works. The images are detailed and in full splendor of color and leave little to the imagination while reading and admiring.

Captivating book!
WONDERFUL book, really delightful to see the work of this artist. I was familiar with him, but the book I "met" in my dentist's waiting room. I was enjoying the book so much I was crushed when I was called in to get my cleaning done...and I decided I wanted to get a copy for myself.
