Catalogue to a major traveling exhibition focused on Banksy, the world's most popular graffiti artist whose real identity remains unknown despite his domination of the global street art scene for over twenty-five years.

This accessible volume devoted to the enigmatic artist known as Banksy showcases pivotal works from private collections grouped to reveal Banksy's key reference points and creative drives. The show features more than 100 original iconic works--always topical and certainly never dull--including Girl with Balloon, Gangsta Rat, Monkey Queen, along with lesser-known examples in other media such as Banksy of England banknotes, satiric CD covers, posters, and rare T-shirt designs. Laced with caustic and critical messages, Banksy's works examine capitalism, consumerism, war, social control, freedom, and other features of our time with groundbreaking freshness and immediacy. Insightful essays explore such topics as Banksy's philosophy, relationship to the art market, and choice to remain incognito. Banksy's paintings, sculptures, prints, infographic cladograms, and tube maps are accompanied by detailed contextual analysis and a time line with highlights of Banksy's career.
