Full Description
Banksy, the anonymous and elusive British artist, is considered one of the most admired and influential street artists the world has ever known. His works are often interspersed with parodies and protests that deal with universal subjects such as politics, culture, and ethics. In fact, Banksy's work has been celebrated by the very capitalist system that he targets, often blurring the line between art and consumer.Featuring 80 pieces including paintings, sculptures, and prints by the British artist, accompanied by objects, photographs, videos, album covers, memorabilia (lithographs, stickers, prints, magazines, fanzines, tickets, promotional flyers), and text by Gianni Mercurio describing the artist's political and historical impact in the art world, The Art of Banksy is the most comprehensive retrospective about the artist yet published.
