Description

The artist known as Banksy has been creating works for over three decades and is one of the best-known artists of our age. Banksy has always believed the best place for his work is on a wall, where it's free and accessible to everyone. That said, since 2002, he's also created around fifty-one print editions, producing an estimated 30,000 artworks. His Pictures on Walls (POW) project played a huge role in shaping his career and the street-art scene at large. This unauthorized guide to Banksy's print editions meticulously documents 174 unique prints, presenting an unparalleled visual catalog of these hugely collectible works.

In addition to making his art accessible to a larger audience, these prints often expand on themes seen in his wider body of work, making them essential in understanding his artistic development over the last two decades. Banksy initially offered his prints, both signed and unsigned, for modest prices.

Organized by release year, with insightful commentary, essential details about each edition, and faithful and high--quality reproductions, Banksy: The Prints is the ultimate resource for exploring Banksy's printed works.

Critical Reviews

A handsomely produced volume, organized chronologically [with] a description of each image, along with information about where and when it was released, how many were published, and how many were signed... A stark, graphic commentary on contemporary life.-- "Kirkus Reviews" (9/15/2025 12:00:00 AM)

Focusing mostly on the early and mid-aughts, the book highlights [Banksy's] signature themes--childhood, hope, critiques of consumerism and capitalism--in screen prints, some of which feature images initially displayed elsewhere... A worthwhile survey of a lesser-known element of the enigmatic artist's oeuvre.-- "Publishers Weekly" (9/6/2025 12:00:00 AM)
