Banksy is the most mysterious, most discussed, and most sought-after artist in the world. A vivid representative of the underground and street art. He is called the greatest master of street art. His rebellious works are colored with a peculiar black humor regarding the social and political aspects of contemporary society. In his creations, he presents a sharp critique of inequality, injustice, and the consumerist world of the establishment. Banksy is an exemplary example of both fame and infamy simultaneously, built on his absence and anonymity. His relationship with the art market is extremely complex and marked by mocking hostility. This album includes all iconic works, among which are Girl with a Balloon or Love in a Trash Bin, Pulp Fiction, Love is in the Air, Barcode, Queen of Monkeys, and many others. In addition to iconic works, it contains numerous paintings, stencils, and installations, many of which have never been published before. The album is created in collaboration with Pest Control – an organization that regulates all legal issues related to the rights to Banksy's works and serves as the sole conduit for communication with the artist. Therefore, this publication is as official and authentic as any work of the world-famous street art genius.
