Until now, little to nothing is known about the the diversity of the Walled Off art editions and the quantities that were issued. Highlighting both the relevance of Banksy’s street art and how his impact has continued to spread, Planet Banksy brings together some of the very best pieces of art from all corners of the world that have been inspired by Banksy, as well as featuring some of his own innovative, profound and controversial work. 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.His works are often about politics, war, and other important things, but he also likes to paint rats. His homage to Oscar Wilde, Create Escape, also resulted in Banksy selling the work he stenciled on the side of Reading Jail in England, thus ensuring that the jail was turned into an arts center rather than being demolished by developers. 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.

Banksy is a world-famous graffiti artist who secretly spray paints pictures on streets and walls while no one is watching. 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. This book guides readers through Banksy’s artistic processes and explains his influences, such as the Situationism movement and the May 1968 uprising in Paris. Banksy is responsible for decorating the streets, walls, bridges and zoos of towns and cites throughout the world.

Only a few copies of the First Edition were issued with a dust jacket and it is rare to find an example of the dust jacket in collectible condition. Banksy's work grew out of the Bristol underground scene, which involved collaborations between artists and musicians.

He became a key figure in the world of street art in the mid-1990s with his provocative and unique style. The paintings of collections that I make portray objects such as books, records and ephemera, which behold properties impinging passions and hobbies. 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.

If you’ve been crying yourself to sleep over your failings as a rat athlete in the rat olympics of late-capitalist life then take comfort. The work of Banksy is unmistakable, except maybe when it's squatting in the Tate or New York's Metropolitan Museum. You can object to the use of your e-mail address for this purpose at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. Naturally some of this is used as a soapbox as you would expect from any creative or artistic type but does not distract from the quality of the content. Banksy is the world’s most discussed artist of recent decades, and this seminal collection features hundreds of works including Girl with Balloon, Pulp Fiction, Love Is in the Air, Barcode, and Monkey Queen.

If you want to start collecting something a little bit off main track and slightly under the radar of most Banksy collectors look no further than his books.No importa si eres el más apasionado del arte o es tu primer acercamiento a este tipo de trabajo, este libro es divertido, bello, ágil e inspirador. Banksy is an England-based graffiti artist, political activist and film director of unverified identity. 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. Outside of Banksy’s own authorised output there are a myriad of titles covering all angles ranging from in depth analysis of his work to colouring in books. 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.
