About this deal

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. This site uses profiling cookies, also from third parties, that allow us to send you advertising messages more in line with your preferences. These include the Barton Hill Flower Girl image painted just yards from the youth centre where youth worker John Nation inspired Bristol’s original graffiti artists in the mid-1980s and which made a major impact on the young Banksy.

This copy is from the fourteenth printing and sports a characteristic endorsed sticker indicating that this edition contains 10% more contents. 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. 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. Whilst some works by Banksy increased in value by six and seven figures, us more moderate spenders were left to collect what we could afford.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.

Between 2017 and 2020, Banksy issued limited editions of miniature multiples of the dividing wall in Palestine, which were only available to guests staying at The Walled Off Hotel. He has smuggled his artworks into the four major modern museums in New York City, draped his exhibits from London s Tate Gallery, and decorated Israel s West Bank barrier with ironic imagery. Banksy is a world-famous graffiti artist who secretly spray paints pictures on streets and walls while no one is watching. Witty, thought provoking and, when at its best, as when pictures are painted on the wall the separates the Palestinians from Israel, they're downright powerful.International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Banksy says that he was inspired by "3D", a graffiti artist who later became a founding member of Massive Attack, an English musical group. The book also pays tribute to Banksy’s rats, a reviled symbol of urban decay that the artist reimagines as rappers, violin players, and painters.

This work contains a three part series of previously published books by Banksy, including: Banging Your Head Against a Brick Wall, Existencilism, and Cut It Out. Revealing much about the origins of some of the artist’s most striking ideas, as well as his subversive social attitudes, complex personality, and singular sense of humor, this is the perfect read for any Banksy or modern-art fan.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. Until now, nobody knew how many different editions of these hand-painted multiples had been produced. 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. Wall and Piece amalgamate Banksy’s three pocket-sized books – ‘Banging Your Head Against A Brick Wall’, ‘Cut It Out’ and ‘Existencilism’.
