€29,95
With his recognizable style, street artist Banksy always manages to attract attention. Not for himself, because the artist prefers to remain anonymous, but for his statements. Whether it is shredded at an art auction or appears in public space, every work has something to say. Kelly Grovier dissects Banksy’s seemingly simple art.
Street artist Banksy uses the legacy of art history for his challenging murals, improvised urban sculptures and destroyed paintings. Of course in his own inimitable way, because slavish quoting or referring is not an option. Have these icons of art lost their power of expression after years of reproduction after reproduction? What does Banksy do with them? He saves them. IN DUTCH!
