Review
No one knows who he is, yet he is well known through his work. From the many examples in this book it's clear that Banksy is not simply a name-tagger; his graffiti artwork often expresses a big (political) idea and is more than merely decoration. Especially the stencils take a lot of preparation and planning.
Next to beautiful photos of his work, Banksy also offers comments on infamous actions (like putting up fake art in musea). It's a perfect coffeetablebook as it is a great book to leaf through and talk about.
Here is an example of his work: Kissing Policemen.
