Wall and Piece
By Banksy
 
First edition, first impression: London: Century, 2005.
 
Quarto. Original pictorial boards, spine lettered in black. With the original pictorial dust jacket featuring the sprayed Banksy title to the front panel and publisher's price to the bottom corner of lower panel.
 
A near fine copy. The boards are clean and square - with a couple of minor bumps to the bottom corners - the spine straight, and the contents fresh.
 
The dust jacket is very good, showing a little edge-wear - primarily to the bottom - with a small tear to the bottom of the lower flap fore-edge and a bit of rubbing to corners. Otherwise clean with the colours remaining strong.
 
Wall and Piece is the foundational volume of Banksy's printed oeuvre, bringing together his early street work alongside satirical texts and visual essays. Issued at the height of his emergence from subcultural notoriety into international prominence, it documents many of his most iconic images and established the visual and conceptual language that would come to define his market and critical reception.
