Banksy: Wall and Piece

Product Information

The paintings of collections that I make portray objects such as books, records and ephemera, which behold properties impinging passions and hobbies. 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. So we have his brilliant Migrant Child With Pink Flare in Venice, to the fantastic situationist Valentine’s Day in Bristol.

It looks at the setting up of the show and questions the need – other than to conform to the required Banksy mystique – for secrecy.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. 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. Of these only the recently released Cut And Run (2023) and 2005’s Wall and Piece are widely available. Photographer Ray Mock takes you along on his exciting hunt for new Banksy work during the famous Better Out Than In’ project.

Features his very latest work and includes: Nottingham Hula Hoop Girl, Bristol Valentines’ Day, Turf War Exhibition, Girl With Balloon, Birmingham Reindeer Bench, London Extinction Rebellion, Calais Steve Jobs, Devolved Parliament, New York You Loot We Shoot. 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, THE WALLED OFF ART EDITIONS are SOLD OUT uncovers the secrets of his Walled Off art editions. I travelled from London to Bristol in 2009 to see this landmark exhibition, unfortunately after many many hours queuing, we just didn’t get in!These decorations copy the graffiti that can be found on the Israeli barrier on the West Bank and include a number of iconic images by the grandmaster himself. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stenciling technique. Millions of people know his work but no one really knows who Bansky is – his true identity is a secret. He also collaborates with institutions such as Luiss Guido Carli, La Sapienza, Museum of Contemporary Art in Rome (MACRO), and PAC in Milan. He wrote this artist biography book to make contemporary art approachable and enjoyable for his two children.

In the early days, the days when every collector says they wish they bought more Banksy – Banksy was self-publishing his first Books. Nevertheless, Flemish author and art expert Marc Pairon has managed to map out this exceptional series of multiples. 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.There are so many Banksy works in this book I have never seen before which for me was the real delight in this book.
