Banksy has gone from underground graffiti artist to main line ape artist in the matter of a short few years but how much do youreally know about Banksy and did you know Banksy books written about his art and it's many locations and guises?

Wall & Piece

Inventive genius, political activist, painter and decorator, mythic legend or scandalous graffiti artist? The work of Banksy is unmistakable, except might be when it's squatting in the Tate or Big Apple's metropolitan Museum. Banksy is responsible for decorating the streets, walls, bridges and zoos of towns and cites everywhere. Witty and subversive, his stencils show monkeys with weapons of mass annihilation, policeman with smiley faces, rats with drills, and umbrellas. If you look carefully enough you'll find your own. His statements, incitements, ironies and epigrams are by turns clever and impertinent comments on everything from the monarchy and capitalism to the struggle in Iraq and farm animals. His identity remains unknown, but his work is bountiful. And now for the first time, he's's putting together the best of his work old and new in an absolutely illustrated color volume.
