Banksy Book order (chronological)
Banksy's art is characterized by satirical street art and subversive epigrams that blend irreverent dark humor with a distinctive stenciling technique. These works of political and social commentary appear on streets, walls, and bridges worldwide. Evolving from the Bristol underground scene, his style draws inspiration from earlier artists working with graffiti and stencils. Banksy expresses contempt for government labeling of graffiti as vandalism, showcasing his art on public surfaces and challenging notions of art ownership.

Trzymasz w ręce zbiór najlepszych prac najbardziej poszukiwanego brytyjskiego artysty. Kim jest Banksy? Artystycznym geniuszem, politycznym aktywistą, malarzem, dekoratorem, mityczną legendą, a może po prostu powszechnie znanym writerem? Prac Banksy'ego nie można pomylić z niczym innym, nie sposób ich przeoczyć, no chyba, że zostały skutecznie przemycone i zakamuflowane w Tate czy The Metropolitan Museum of Art w Nowym Jorku. Banksy odpowiada za ozdabianie' ulic, murów, mostów i zoo w miastach dużych i małych na całym świecie. Jest przy tym dowcipny, a jego prace przewrotne: małpy dzierżące broń masowego rażenia, policjanci z uśmiechniętymi emotikonami zamiast twarzy, szczury z wiertłami i parasolami. Banksy wskazuje światu na to, co istotne, podburza ludzi, ironizuje, inteligentnie, acz bezczelnie komentuje wszystko, od monarchii i kapitalizmu, po wojnę w Iraku i zwierzęta hodowlane. Tożsamość Banksy'ego nadal pozostaje tajemnicą, mimo że jego prace są już powszechnie znane. * * * Prace Banksy'ego muszą mieć świadków, z których każdy powinien je przeżyć, wziąć do serca i przekazać dalej w imię Wolności.

Nach dem autobiografischen Bestseller 'Ich weiß, was Hunger ist' präsentiert der 'Ausnahmekoch' aus Berlin-Kreuzberg sein großes Kochbuch. Es enthält über hundert außergewöhnliche, asiatisch inspirierte Rezepte, die Energie und Lebensfreude spenden. Die Gerichte zeichnen sich durch eine harmonische Balance von süßen, sauren und scharfen Aromen aus. Tim Raue beschreibt sein Essen als kraftvoll und unkonventionell, hinterlässt aber stets einen bleibenden Eindruck. Die Stadt Hongkong, die als 'duftender Hafen' bekannt ist, inspiriert Raue seit Jahren, und er nutzt jede Gelegenheit, um die pulsierende Metropole zu besuchen. Sein erstes Restaurant, eröffnet am 3. September 2010 in Berlin-Kreuzberg, verbindet das preußische Berlin mit dem asiatischen Hongkong und spiegelt die urbane Atmosphäre wider. Raues Küche, ausgezeichnet als Koch des Jahres 2007 und 2011, vereint japanische Produktperfektion, thailändische Aromatik und chinesische Küchenphilosophie. Er serviert ausschließlich Gerichte, die den Körper nicht unnötig belasten, und verzichtet auf Beilagen wie Brot, Nudeln und Reis sowie auf weißen Zucker, Milchprodukte und Gluten. Dies ist sein erstes, mit Spannung erwartetes Autorenkochbuch.

The last outlaw of visual Graffiti and unsanctioned art—from local origins to global phenomenon In recent years street art has grown bolder, more ornate, more sophisticated and—in many cases—more acceptable. Yet unsanctioned public art remains the problem child of cultural expression, the last outlaw of visual disciplines. It has also become a global phenomenon of the 21st century. Made in collaboration with featured artists, Trespass examines the rise and global reach of graffiti and urban art , tracing key figures, events and movements of self-expression in the city’s social space, and the history of urban reclamation, protest, and illicit performance. The first book to present the full historical sweep, global reach and technical developments of the street art movement, Trespass features key works by 150 artists ,and connects four generations of visionary outlaws including Jean Tinguely , Spencer Tunick, Keith Haring, Os Gemeos , Jenny Holzer , Barry McGee , Gordon Matta-Clark, Shepard Fairey, Blu, Billboard Liberation Front , Guerrilla Girls and Banksy , among others. It also includes dozens of previously unpublished photographs of long-lost works and legendary, ephemeral urban artworks. Also

Graffiti is like boxing. The people who do it "professionally" tend to go round in circles pulling the same old moves all the time. The real entertainment takes place on amateur night. That's when you get to watch the bitter and twisted unleash all their pent-up frustrations on an unsuspecting public in a desperate attempt to make some kind of point before collapsing under a cloud of their own bloodied spit. This little book is a charming collection of graffiti from around the world as collected on the site picturesofwalls.com. Very funny indeed. Edited by Banksy. Color.

Banksy, Britain's now-legendary "guerilla" street artist, has painted the walls, streets, and bridges of towns and cities throughout the world. Not only did he smuggle his pieces into four of New York City's major art museums, he's also "hung" his work at London's Tate Gallery and adorned Israel's West Bank barrier with satirical images. Banksy's identity remains unknown, but his work is unmistakable—with prints selling for as much as $45,000.
