So we have his brilliant Migrant Child With Pink Flare in Venice, to the fantastic situationist Valentine’s Day in Bristol. 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. I do not claim to have read all these books (yet), I will however attempt to give a short opinion on each book based on my own experience and reviews I have read online. 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.

The contributors are drawn from the academic and art worlds, business and media, with a range of ‘vox pop’ reactions. 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. All over the world, he is currently the visual artist who gets the most attention in the press and is on everybody’s lips. 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. 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.The authors look also at the economic impact of the show, the media’s role in creating its notoriety, and the question so often avoided by the critics – how does Banksy rate as an artist in his own right? Until now, little to nothing is known about the the diversity of the Walled Off art editions and the quantities that were issued.

Wall and Piece amalgamate Banksy’s three pocket-sized books – ‘Banging Your Head Against A Brick Wall’, ‘Cut It Out’ and ‘Existencilism’.Where its predecessor featured in-depth analysis of each piece displayed, Desperately Seeking B**ksy offers accessibility and brevity for the more casual fan. 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.

After all, as a Social Artist he always sympathizes with the fate of mankind and acts – in all conscience and good faith – accordingly. His works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world. Fausto Gilberti brings life, intrigue, and whimsy to the mysterious story of one of the most important contemporary artists of our time. His possible life story has already received extensive literary coverage, while most of his graffiti has been published many times.His work has always been political, involving pointed critiques of inequality, injustice, consumerism, and the establishment, yet no one knows his identity. As Banksy continues to challenge the political, economic, and racial oppression that takes place every day in cities around the world, this book offers a timely appreciation of just how the artist has embedded himself into the psyche of the powerful as well as the voiceless without ever revealing his own identity.
