Banksy

This illustrated book Banksy offers a new approach to Banksy's work by focusing on his creative output as an artist, political commentator and cultural phenomenon. It analyses his use of stencils, humour, text and art historical references, and places his work in a larger social and political context.

The book reviews key events in Banksy's career – including exhibitions such as Barely Legal (2003), museum infiltrations in 2004-05, the collaboration with Bristol Museum (2009), Dismaland (2015) and the famous auction of a work that self-destructed. Along the way, it also explores his development as an artist and the enduring fascination with his anonymity.
