In this fully revised and richly illustrated edition, author and journalist Will Ellsworth-Jones pieces together a complete picture of the life and work of Banksy, perhaps the most iconic, enigmatic and controversial artist of modern times. For someone who shuns the limelight so completely that he conceals his name, never shows his face and gives interviews only by email, Banksy is remarkably famous. This fully updated and illustrated story of Banksy’s life and career builds an intriguing picture of his world and unpicks its contradictions. Whether art or vandalism, anti-establishment or sell-out, Banksy and his work have become a cultural phenomenon and the question ‘Who is Banksy?’ is as much about his career as it is ‘the man behind the wall’. From his beginnings as a Bristol graffiti artist, his artwork is now sold at auction for seven-figure sums and hangs on celebrities’ walls. The appearance of a new Banksy is national news, his documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop was Oscar-nominated and people queue for hours to see his latest exhibition. Now moreNational Treasure than edgy outsider, who is Banksy and how did he become what he is today? This book charts Banksy #39;s journey from the graffiti-scrawled streets of Barton Hill, the working class neighbourhood of Bristol where he and others covered the walls with vibrant pieces while trying to avoid the police, through to some of the most prestigious galleries of the world, where his daring acts of guerilla art have forced us to reconsider how we define as art. From the artist #39;s own words to recollections of friends and colleagues, this book also examines the contradictions of Banksy #39;s life: charting how a privately educated boy from a middle class area of Bristol reinvented himself as a rogue and an outlaw who would take the art world by storm. With beautiful reproductions of some of his most controversial and recognisable works, this detailed study is a truly indispensible guide to understanding the ultimate art rebel whose work is no less relevant today than it was when he first started out some thirty years ago.

This gift-ready coffee table book is a close-up look at 50 artists—their work, their studios, their style—creating a wide variety of art in the Hamptons. It’s one thing to admire an artist’s work; it’s another to get a real feel of the person behind the work. In these pages you’ll get a close-up look at 50 painters, sculptors, printmakers, photographers, and mixed-media artists who are living and working on the famed East End of Long Island, New York. Photographer Jaime Lopez has captured each artist both in revealing portraits and at work in their studios, and journalist and curator Coco Myers has contributed insightful interviews. Among the well-known artists are Donald Sultan, April Gornick, Mary Heilmann, Caio Fonseca, Bryan Hunt, Joe Zucker, Frank Wimberley, and Paton Miller. The East End has long been a magnet for artists who are drawn to the inspiring nature of the landscape—the light, the fields, the farms, and of course, the expansive sea. And while the legacy of artists like Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Willem de Kooning, and others remains strong, the area continues to be rich in talent today. Lopez’s photographs and Myers’s text reveal the creativity, intelligence, and humor of these 50 artists as well as the vibe of their workplaces and the tools of their craft.

Francesca Cartier Brickell, whose great-grandfather was the youngest of the brothers, has traveled the world researching her family’s history, tracking down those connected with her ancestors and discovering long-lost pieces of the puzzle along the way. Now she reveals never-before-told dramas, romances, intrigues, betrayals, and more. The Cartiers also offers a behind-the-scenes look at the firm’s most iconic jewelry—the notoriously cursed Hope Diamond, the Romanov emeralds, the classic panther pieces—and the long line of stars from the worlds of fashion, film, and royalty who wore them, from Indian maharajas and Russian grand duchesses to Wallis Simpson, Coco Chanel, and Elizabeth Taylor. Published in the two-hundredth anniversary year of the birth of the dynasty’s founder, Louis-François Cartier, this book is a magnificent, definitive, epic social history shown through the deeply personal lens of one legendary family.
