Love, published to accompany the major exhibition that will open

Documentary directed by the elusive street artist Banksy. Using
footage shot by eccentric French amateur film-maker Thierry Guetta,
the film follows the shop owner as he immerses himself in the
underground world of guerilla street art. He joins the scene
through his cousin, mosaic artist Invader, and documents camera-shy
artists including Shepard Fairey and Banksy at work. But as Thierry
films them for his art documentary, Banksy turns the camera back on
its holder and shows how Guetta created the pop-street art alter
ego known as 'Mr Brainwash' and became an overnight sensation in
the LA art world.
Shepard Fairey s first comprehensive monograph brought back into
print, which chronicles his early art school days, his viral Andre
the Giant has a Posse sticker campaign in the 1990s, the creation
of his enormously successful OBEY apparel brand, and his longtime
role as an activist-street artist.

The definitive monograph of Glen E. Friedman, a pioneer of skate,
punk, and hip-hop photography, including much
never-before-published work. Glen E. Friedman is best known for his
work capturing and promoting rebellion in his portraits of artists
such as Fugazi, Black Flag, Ice-T, Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat, The
Misfits, Bad Brains, Beastie Boys, Run-D.M.C., and Public Enemy, as
well as classic skateboarding originators such as Tony Alva, Jay
Adams, Alan "Ollie" Gelfand, Duane Peters, and Stacy Peralta, and a
very young Tony Hawk. Designed in association with celebrated
street and graphic artist Shepard Fairey, this monograph captures
the most important and influential underground heroes of
skateboarding, punk, and hip-hop cultures. My Rules is an
unprecedented window into the three most significant
countercultures of the last quarter of the twentieth century, and
Friedman's photographs define those important movements that he
helped shape. A remarkable chronicle and a primer about the origins
of radical street cultures, My Rules is also a statement of
artistic inspiration for those influenced by these countercultures.
The seminal artist's recent art and poster works, and his
triumphant return to his street-art roots with murals, all in work
never before published. Shepard Fairey rose out of the
skateboarding scene, creating his Andre the Giant Has a Posse
sticker campaign in the late '80s, and has since achieved a
mainstream recognition that most street artists never find.
Fairey's Hope poster, created during Obama's 2008 presidential
campaign, is arguably the most iconic American image since Uncle
Sam. Fairey has become a pop-culture icon himself, though he has
remained true to his street-art roots. OBEY: Covert to Overt
showcases his most recent evolution from works on paper to grander
art installations, cross-cultural artworks, and music/art
collaborations. The book also includes his ubiquitous streetwear
and chronicles his return to public artworks. His signature blend
of politics, street culture, and art makes Fairey unlike any other
subculture/street artist working today. This book showcases the
significant amount of art he has created the last several years:
street murals, mixed-media installations, art/music events,
countless silk screens, and work from his extremely successful OBEY
brand.
