Bristol-born Banksy is often labeled a Street Artist, yet his work transcends this classification, revealing a deeper engagement with consumer culture. This publication explores Banksy as a contemporary Urban Artist, focusing on both his street art and gallery exhibitions. It highlights significant works that showcase his versatility and represent different phases of his career. This marks the first academic study of Banksy’s art in English, providing a history and analysis of Graffiti, Street Art, and Urban Art, along with extensive biographical details. It appeals to both academics and the general public. In this edition, Banksy and fellow artist Damien Hirst emerge as prominent figures in British contemporary art, positioned at the intersection of art, consumerism, and pop culture. A comprehensive academic exploration of their artistic perspectives and consumer culture references has been lacking, which Ulrich Blanché addresses by examining their works within the context of the London art scene since 1980. He draws connections to influential figures like Duchamp, Warhol, and Koons, while reflecting on the observer's role and the interplay between art, consumer culture, and marketing. This two-volume edition is a translated and expanded version of the author’s dissertation.
