Lo compré para un regalo y habiendo puesto fecha de entrega 5 días laborales, me llegó al día siguiente. El libro es estupendo, mucho más grande de lo que pensaba y con unas imágenes estupendas. Es un indispensable, sobre todo para aquellos que lo están pensando.

I’ve followed Banksy since late 90’s. I’m not sure how I’ve lived this long without this book!

Interesante libro sobre la vida y obra del artista urbano BANKSY, aunque no es una obra autorizada, tiene muchísima información sobre el Graffitero que escalo al “Arte Fino”.

Banksy is probably the best known stencil artist and in my estimation, he’s definitely the best. With a distinctly global view and wicked sense of humor he slams the status-quo all over the world and at the same time creates memorable art that is critical of the worst in human nature. But also celebrates the best of us too.
I have enjoyed watching street art and creative graffiti grow over the last 30 years (I’m a 60 year old grandma). Banksy has raised the bar so much higher. His earlier work was strongly English, with commentary on uniquely British foibles, but every year it has expanded to lambast ridiculousness everywhere. I especially loved his rat series, which was brilliant.
This book has a smidgen of his history with just enough details to give us a view into Banksy’s perspective and goals, but not enough to identify him. And that’s fine with me; I love the mystery of who he might be. He gets to remain “everyman” or any man and speak truth to power on our behalf. This book is a wonderful introduction to his work if you haven’t seen “Exit Through the Gift Shop” or heard of him. And, if you’re a big fan, it’s a delight!

But this guy really is creative in what he does, most of the time surreptitiously. Not all of his creations provide an obvious link to the point(s) he tries to make, but by using this book as a guide, a layman like myself can better appreciate what he does and why.

I am a born & bred New Yorker and I am also an artist. Banksy is no vandal, he is a true artistic genius. I used to write graffiti when I was younger and those that write just “tags” are vandals. Banksy does beautiful work, transforms environments, and is very clever. He is now one of my favorite artists.
To Mayor Bloomberg: You’re an idiot…you want the NYPD to catch Banksy because you said he is a vandal? Get your priorities straight Bloomy….we have reckless motorcycle gangs terrorizing motorists, etc. Banksy is no threat.
To my Ghetto neighbors…i.e. Bed-Sty, East NY, etc…some of you are on YouTube being shown harrassing people for taking pictures of Banksy’s works on “your” walls and intimidating them for money….first off they are not “your” walls, secondly go get a job if you need money that bad instead of hanging on the street corner all day.
Lastly, to my fellow artists bad mouthing Banksy as a cheat off Le Rat whatever his name is in France….everyone pioneers something and then there are the people that “carry the torch”….Banksy is that guy.
Buy this book. It’s awesome.

The whole book is full of powerful statements. The creativity is the perfect bait for the hook that is the world we all share. This book is great for long bathroom breaks.

This was purchased as a present for my freshman college son, who had seen it in the bookstore during visits. I should say that he does already have familiarity with Banksy’s work. He loves it. It’s well made, very sturdy, nice binding (hardcover bought). Had terrific pictures and graphics. Lot’s of captioning, some longer writing about pieces, periods, etc. Very dense, perfect for browsing thru bits at a time. And it’s a real conversation piece in the dorm, helping to strike up conversations with other people who are interested in Banksy, art, street culture, you name it. Plus, my son isn’t normally too interested in visual art, but here he is appreciating the medium in a very subversive way – that sneaky Banksy!

This is the best Banksy book out there, not just because it has the best photographs of his work but because this book was created by banks and not some one else.
I bought this and “Banksy you are an acceptable level of threat.” I GREATLY prefer this book over “acceptable level of threat.” This is not just full of amazing photographs of his work but it has actual commentary by banksy himself! Its full of his witty and clever sayings that will have you rolling on the floor laughing.
But most importantly it contains his philosphy behind art and why he does what he does. Its in his own words and not write by some outside source who “researched” his work.
If you love street art and banksy more so, then you NEED TO BUY THIS BOOK!!! Out of the dozens of Banksy books, this is by far the best. After all it was created by Banksy himself.
