This monograph gathers and presents the largest assemblage in one
volume about the life, work, and ideas of Banksy - the world's most
discussed artist of recent decades. Featuring hundreds of works -
Girl with Balloon, Mickey Snake, Dismaland, Love is in the Air,
Barcode, Monkey Queen -- the book includes reproductions of
paintings, serigraphs, and stencils. The most iconic works are
here, but so too are numerous installation objects and a selection
of memorabilia all with the official approval of Pest Control, the
group that manages all things Banksy. Banksy is considered the
world's greatest practitioner of street art at work today. His work
has always implied political critiques - of inequality, injustice,
discrimination, consumerism, pollution, and the establishment. But,
Banksy is a ghost -- no one knows his identity. He is an exemplary
case of fame and notoriety built upon absence, anonymity, and the
denial of one's explicit contribution to the public debate if not
in terms of creative activism. Banksy's relationship with the art
market is also complex: at the same time mocking, distant, and
hostile and yet all he does is based upon a marketing logic that
has proven to be among the most effective ever attempted. In short,
an apparent (or real) contradiction between adhesion to the market
and ferocious criticism of the market itself. This volume is
published to coincide with a major traveling exhibition of over one
hundred Banksy works, but it is sure to be a must have for art
lovers and Banksy fans alike for years to come.
