Wall and Piece - Bansky ... Metropolitan Museum. Banksy is responsible for decorating the streets, walls, bridges and zoos of towns and cites throughout the world. Witty and subversive, his stencils show monkeys with weapons of mass destruction, policeman with smiley faces, rats with drills and umbrellas. If you look hard enough, you'll find your own.

Newest Review: ... I couldn't comment. Having seen only a few of his pieces, my mind was set and I had to buy this book! I went to London for ... more

 ... the day, and I saw it at £10, I think it may have been £15, but even the higher price is worth it. Being able to own a gallery of his work, and reading his views and witty comments is definitely priceless.

A lot of the time they help make a place look threatening and uninviting. You do have to appreciate however, that some graffiti, is amazing, very clever and usually always unique. Not often though, does it have a serious, deep meaning, or political view, capable of making you stop and think, that's ...

although the tag 'graffiti art' may not seem appealing to many this book is truly gripping. all of the work in this book is an english artisit called banksy. alot of the work in this is satirical, political, contraversial and thought provoking. once this book has been picked up it is impossible to put it down, and as sombody who doesnt read it is rare to find myself engrosed in a book- lucky this book ismainly pictures then with the only words being used up for captions. banksy has had huge success and has a cult following, his identity is unknown and he communicates through his PA (I THINK) much of his work has appered on ebay and raied substantial amounts of money. ...
