Todo Banksy

Banksy is the most famous living artist in the world, but no one knows his identity. For more than twenty years, his wryly political and blackly humorous paintings have mysteriously appeared on urban walls around the world generating headlines and controversy. Art critics despise him, but the public (and the art market) love him. With this lavishly illustrated book, artist and critic Carol Diehl is the first author to plumb the depths of the Banksy mystery. Through the exploration of his paintings, installations, writings, and the Oscar-nominated film Exit Through the Gift Shop for Best Documentary Film, Diehl unequivocally demonstrates that Banksy is more than paint on the wall.
