Not only did he smuggle his pieces into four of New York City's major art museums, he's also "hung" his work at London's Tate Gallery and adorned Israel's West Bank barrier with satirical images. Banksy's identity remains unknown, but his work is unmistakable—with prints selling for as much as $45,000.

Funny and Very Creative VandalismNov 05, 2008
I have this book on my desk. Every loves it and I think its very creative and it approaches graffiti as an art rather and in a different point of view. Banksy must be a very smart or weird guy.

Great Book for any graffiti enthusiast!Sep 04, 2008
You have to check out this book if you can appreciate the art that is graffiti. Banksy also inspires you with his political satire.
finished reading it at the bookstore Aug 28, 2008
there isn't much to read. the art speaks for itself.
6 sections to this book:
monkeys, cops, rats, cows, art, and street furniture.
there are a few pages that contain several paragraphs of writing. banksy provides captions for maybe.. approximately half or less than half of his art. towards the back there's one page with "advice on painting with stencils". if you were looking for graffiti instruction, look elsewhere... unless you really want to look at that one page haha. some of his famous quotes are in there.
what a funny guy. funny book. it was worth the money :)
Mezmerizing!Aug 18, 2008
Couldn't put it down. Images are mezmerizing. Everyone I show it to wants to buy it to. No profanity or sexually oriented photos make it a hip gift choice for young people.
Great collection of graffiti art. Aug 17, 2008
Banksy is a great artist. This book is 240 pages of both his graffiti and his "gallery" or more "Piece" art. I think he is an innovator and inspiration to all artists. We could all learn something from Banksy. If you like this book you might also like some Shepard Fairey work. Also check out Banksy's website at http://www.Banksy.co.uk its really great.
