Graffiti "art terrorist" Banksy is a rebel, an enigma, and extremely talented to boot (see this New Yorker article). Whatever you think of his guerilla art tactics and politics, I guarantee you will be riveted by Wall and Piece (2005). This book contains photos of his in-your-face yet ephemeral stencils along with a smattering of statements reflecting his art and personal politics: "Any advert in public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It's yours to take, re-arrange and reuse. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock that has been thrown at your head."
Find Wall and Piece on the New Books Shelf along with Infidel, On Chesil Beach, and others.
