Banksy by Stefano Antonelli and Gianluca Marziani

The world’s most enigmatic artist, Banksy, is renowned for his highly sought-after works. Now, in a groundbreaking anthology, the largest collection ever of Banksy’s iconic pieces, installation objects, ephemera, and memorabilia is showcased. This seminal volume captures the essence of Banksy’s artistry, featuring hundreds of works including renowned pieces like “Girl with Balloon,” “Pulp Fiction,” “Love Is in the Air,” “Barcode,” and “Monkey Queen.”

Notably, this collection goes beyond the familiar, showcasing numerous paintings, serigraphs, stencils, and installation objects. Moreover, it offers a selection of previously unseen memorabilia, making it a must-have for any Banksy enthusiast. Produced in collaboration with Pest Control, the authoritative group responsible for managing all things Banksy, this publication is the epitome of official and authorized.

Banksy’s status as the world’s greatest street artist is well-deserved. His work consistently delivers political messages, sharply critiquing issues like inequality, injustice, consumerism, and the establishment. However, the mystery surrounding Banksy is equally fascinating. Despite being a figure of fame and notoriety, Banksy’s true identity remains shrouded in secrecy. This absence and anonymity only heighten his artistic allure.

Yet, the connection between Banksy and the art market is far from simple. While he maintains a mocking hostility towards it, Banksy’s work remains highly marketable and collected. This complex relationship highlights the paradoxical nature of his art.
