Description from the seller
Banksy's Bristol: Home Sweet Home
Exceptional signed copy by Steve Wright
"Banksy's Bristol: Home Sweet Home" is the title of a famous photographic book and unofficial guide dedicated to the roots of Banksy's street art in his hometown, Bristol. Written by journalist and art critic Steve Wright, the volume traces the formative years of the elusive British artist, from the early freehand work with the Dry Breadz Crew in the late 1990s to his historic and iconic stencils.
The title harks back to a concept dear to the artist and also evokes a specific and famous painting from 2006 titled precisely "Home Sweet Home." In that work, originally presented at the Barely Legal show and later exhibited in the historic Banksy vs Bristol Museum exhibition of 2009, Banksy altered an idyllic traditional oil landscape with spray paint, stamping the white inscription "Home Sweet Home" over it to denounce with irony and satire the social contradictions of the modern concept of "home" and environment.
Conditions
The volume presents itself in overall good condition. Cover with slight superficial defects. Paperback is intact. Inner pages with some defects as shown in the photos, otherwise clean, with no creases or stains. Good collectible copy.
COMBINED SHIPPING available for multiple purchases.
