Banksy. Wall and Piece. 2007. A fancy art book by a daring graffiti artist. What does it mean that a book of graffiti is published as an art book, and the first art book I’ve ever read where I read the text instead of just looking at the pictures? An anonymous highwire political artist has craft, vision, talent, and guts. There is guerilla stencil inspiration here enough to derail all professional status-seeking artists, activists, and academics. Here are solid, heartfelt pranks of conscience rightfully published as fine art.
