Banksy

You will find, gathered lovingly together, in this book - the single best collection of photography of Banksy's street work that has ever been assembled for print.

Banksy is the closest thing we have to Che Guevara. Except, as far as we know, he's never flunked medical school, shot anyone or attempted to foment revolution in the Congo. You will find, gathered lovingly together, in this book - the single best collection of photography of Banksy's street work that has ever been assembled for print. If that isn't enough there are some words too. Much to the chagrin of art schools everywhere, it is likely that Banksy will be the best remembered artist of post-millennial-depression Britain. His capacity to grab attention and deliver a message, often with a punch line or hidden layer of meaning would have landed him a great job in an advertising agency. Madison Avenue's loss is our gain.

In this 240-page book, you will find snapshots of the master's works in their contexts, even those that no longer exist today, all complemented by explanatory texts by Alessandra Mattanza.
