Wholesale Banksy: Completed

Banksy remains an enigma. This book delves into his mysteries, exploring his paintings, installations, writings, and film, Exit through the Gift Shop. Art critic Carol Diehl investigates the social, economic, and political implications of Banksy’s works. She reveals how he provokes the system, from his 2013 “residency” in New York to his dystopian theme park, Dismaland. Banksy’s art combines conceptual art, social commentary, and political protest, not in museums but on the street. Diehl examines Banksy’s questions about public and private property, the role of corporations, wars, and the gap between luxury goods and social expression. These questions remain pertinent today.
