Banksy: Wall and Piece

Product Information

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. Observers have noted that his style is similar to Blek le Rat, who began to work with stencils in 1981 in Paris. The work of Banksy is unmistakable, except maybe when it's squatting in the Tate or New York's Metropolitan Museum.

The groundbreaking ‘Dismaland’ show, his Paris ’68 revisited works, The Walled Off Hotel, Brexit, Cans Festival, Brookyln and Basquiat, as well as new works from Gaza and New York. The maps are streamlined, and analysis has been replaced by individual quotes that offer insight into the inspiration behind each piece. In 2017, Banksy opened ‘The Walled Off Hotel’ in Bethlehem, a living art installation with which he brings the Palestinian oppression up for discussion. His possible life story has already received extensive literary coverage, while most of his graffiti has been published many times. And to Banksy's great credit, he includes a brief conversation with an old Palestinian man which argues persuasively against creating art on the wall).Also featuring the controversial ‘Cheltenham Spies’ as well as ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’, ‘Art Buff’ and the spectacular ‘Mobile Lovers’ which appeared outside Bristol Boys Boxing Club. The spine of the dust jacket has a small bump to the top and a small nick to the bottom; a near fine example. There have been many celebratory books about Banksy, but this is the first non-partisan documentation of the Bristol event and an attempt to assess its local and wider impact. The first incendiary collection of stencils and graffiti from Banksy, presented and bound in a handy pocket sized high quality format. 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.

Wall and Piece comprises a three-part series of previously published books by Banksy, including Banging Your Head Against a Brick Wall, Existencilism, and Cut It Out. Graffiti is not the lowest form of art it s actually the most honest artform available, says Banksy.

The still-life studies are a visual translation of the physical qualities connected with ownership, that of memories being conserved and a certain aspiration to capture meaning in our accumulation of retro material things. Full colour, and including some of the most famous/notorious works to date, including exhibiting his work at the Tate Gallery in London.

The third incendiary collection of stencils and graffiti from Banksy (after Banging Your Head Against a Brick Wall and Existencilism). Millions of people know his work but no one really knows who Bansky is – his true identity is a secret. Banksy is responsible for decorating the streets, walls, bridges and zoos of towns and cites throughout the world. In this fully revised and richly illustrated edition, author and journalist Will Ellsworth-Jones pieces together a complete picture of the life and work of Banksy, perhaps the most iconic, enigmatic and controversial artist of modern times.

This copy is from the fourteenth printing and sports a characteristic endorsed sticker indicating that this edition contains 10% more contents. Decades before he blew the lid off the high-stakes art world by shredding a work immediately following its purchase at an auction, Banksy was committing acts of artistic protest on the streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world. These decorations copy the graffiti that can be found on the Israeli barrier on the West Bank and include a number of iconic images by the grandmaster himself. The selection of records included is popular dance/electronic music on vinyl format released during the 1990’s.
