The first incendiary collection of stencils and graffiti from Banksy, presented and bound in a handy pocket sized high quality format. Rarely have art and politics been put to such fine,and overtly public, use. Mix the irony and juxtaposition of John Yates with the beauty of the finest aerosol art, and you’ll have some idea of how good this really is. The reproductions are interspersed with an excellent array of quotes, statements, letters and a beginners guide to painting with stencils. Very, very good.

Besides the book being pocket sized and maybe 50 pages, wall and piece by banksy its essentially all of his works combined into one big book. Save your money and get that.

This book is a wonderful and witty review of Bansky’s work written by the artist himself. I also highly recommend “Cut It Out.” Both books are somewhat hard to find, but can be purchased here on Amazon or for reasonable prices at another great design book website, You Work for Them. Bansky’s hardcover book, “Wall and Piece” is another must have. Cheers!

A short but really good insight into Banksy’s world with both pictures and explanations about his graffitis and ideas. If you love Banksy’s works you will love this book!

First, let me be plain and clear : I do love Banksy’s artwork(s). His style, his creativity, his wit -his subversive cleverness. This said… though “Wall and Piece” is already on my shelve with other street art books, I shall not buy “Banging your head against a brick wall”. Why ? Well, I need somebody to explain me its price first, for it represents an oxymoron with what I know on Banksy (or should I write “what I thought I knew” ?). No matter how convinced I am that it enshrines words and pictures I’d surely savour… I shan’t bang my head against such a brick book… not until I understand its price. A hint, anyone ?

I dont want to say too much because the art speaks for itself. Forcing the viewer to quit looking at their feet and observe the world around them. Don’t accept what you see. BUY IT NOW AND CHANGE YOUR MIND!!

This book is perfect but I was surprised about the small size of the book, I didn’t read the information about it first
