Clarke takes us through their first encounters, which took place in a hotel in New York in the 1990s, and candidly describes how his friendship with this young English artist developed. Millions of people know his work but no one really knows who Bansky is – his true identity is a secret. The reproductions are interspersed with an excellent array of quotes, statements, letters and a beginners guide to painting with stencils. The Hardback Wall and Piece is slightly different in that it was published as a hardback and then also as a paperback with Banksy adding in his words ‘10% more crap’ in 2006, so the original 2005 book and especially the First Edition with Dust Cover and Postcards is Highly prized.

His work has always been political, involving pointed critiques of inequality, injustice, consumerism, and the establishment, yet no one knows his identity. He studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan, and has been part of more than a hundred solo and group exhibitions, both in Italy and abroad. Created in collaboration with Banksy's management company, Pest Control, Banksy is a vast catalogue of the artist's legacy, from his early days of tagging Britain to ambitious projects like Dismaland and The Walled-Off Hotel.The First UK printing published by Century, London in 2005 with full number line including the number '1'. Fausto Gilberti brings life, intrigue, and whimsy to the mysterious story of one of the most important contemporary artists of our time. This book features approximately eighty works from the start of his street art career to today, most photographed in situ and presented in vibrant illustrations. Banksy does not sell photographs or reproductions of his street graffiti, but art auctioneers have been known to attempt to sell his street art on location and leave the problem of its removal in the hands of the winning bidder.

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). Banksy is an England-based graffiti artist, political activist and film director of unverified identity.The various shapes of the ‘souvenirs’ executed in polymer resin were created by Banksy himself, while he also supervised the graffiti decorations carried out by Palestinian artists. I think given the title ‘Seven Years With Banksy’, I would not expect there to be a great deal of new information in the newer version. All over the world, he is currently the visual artist who gets the most attention in the press and is on everybody’s lips. It delves into key works such as Love Is in the Air, a stencilled graffiti that subverts the idea of violent protest; Flag, in which the iconic American photograph at Iwo Jima is altered to reflect a group of Harlem children atop a burnt-out car; and the slyly titled Turf War, in which Winston Churchill sports a grassy Mohawk. After all, as a Social Artist he always sympathizes with the fate of mankind and acts – in all conscience and good faith – accordingly.

Banksy, THE WALLED OFF ART EDITIONS are SOLD OUT uncovers the secrets of his Walled Off art editions. 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. 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.This book presents the richness, diversity and strength of the work of the most famous street art artist in the world… and yet nobody knows his identity. His statements, incitements, ironies and epigrams are by turns intelligent and cheeky comments on everything from the monarchy and capitalism to the war in Iraq and farm animals. Like the other titles in the Desperately Seeking series, Desperately Seeking B**ksy looks at a major cultural icon from a brand-new perspective, providing context for his work and legacy. The paintings of collections that I make portray objects such as books, records and ephemera, which behold properties impinging passions and hobbies.

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. Hazis Vardar, owner and producer of theatres (notably The Palace Nightclub in Paris) is the founder of the Banksy museums (in Paris, Brussels, Barcelona, Prague, Milan and Dubai). In 2017, Banksy opened ‘The Walled Off Hotel’ in Bethlehem, a living art installation with which he brings the Palestinian oppression up for discussion.

The first incendiary collection of stencils and graffiti from Banksy, presented and bound in a handy pocket sized high quality format. Mock’s work captures not only Banksy’s artwork but the reactions of the public and media frenzies that often accompanied it, giving fans a direct window into the frenetic scavenger hunt that took over NYC in October 2013. 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. The world’s most celebrated artist, Banksy, keeps going from strength to strength and this latest edition of Where’s Banksy? It is not known how many of the mini-books were printed but safe to say as they were self-published and his fame was nothing like it is now there cannot be that many out there, also given the small throw away nature of these books if people bought them it’s likely they would have a quick read and recycle rather than collect, this makes them in our view a great collectable for 3 reasons, it’s a Banksy product authorised by him, it’s a great view of his works and finally there just cannot be that many out there.
