Seven Years with Banksy. Robert Clarke.

His works sell for six-figure sums, his recent film Exit Through the Gift Shop was nominated for an Oscar and whenever an exhibition of his opens there are queues around the block. Banksy is one of the world's most talked-about artists yet very little is known about him.

Robert Clarke first met Banksy in New York in the 1990s, long before he was famous. This extraordinary memoir follows Banksy's development over these formative years and describes a variety of escapades he shared with the author as their friendship developed, from late-night excursions into London Zoo to Millennium Eve in their home town of Bristol. This book offers a truly revelatory insight into the mind and life of Banksy.
