Book excerpt: Where s Banksy? fully captures the artist s exploits around the world with clever chronologically-arranged maps. The only survey that looks at Banksy s entire street art career, from his earliest works in 2002 through Dismaland and to the present, with photos and in-depth analysis of the history and meaning of each work. Banksy s public persona has grown to mythic proportions, making his actual identity irrelevant. And yet, he can be found in his art - stylized social commentary for the masses. This book is the ultimate introduction to the work of this brilliant artist and social pioneer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Explore the geography of genius in Desperately Seeking Bowie, a pocket-sized hardcover that situates major milestones from David Bowie's career in the locations where they took place. Detailed maps show his movements around the world, while profiles of notable locales illuminate the interaction between artist and place. Bowie fans will be thrilled by this career-spanning tour of his global trajectory, from his home in New York City to the studio in Berlin where he recorded three of his albums, to the narrow London street where he posed for the cover of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Like the other titles in the series, Desperately Seeking Bowie looks at a major cultural icon from a brand-new perspective, providing context for his life, work, and legacy"--Publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean-Michel Basquiat is one of the few artists who have achieved mythic status. His work is instantly recognizable; like Picasso, Warhol or Frida Kahlo, his look is imprinted on our psyche. But how much do we really know Basquiat? Who was he, where did he come from, where did he hang out? Desperately Seeking Basquiat lets readers explore the most significant locations of his life. We learn that he wasn't from the ghetto, but from the respectable, professional middle class Park Slope neighborhood in Brooklyn. He spent time in his mother's native Puerto Rico as a child. He went to a private school for a few years. And then, yes, he ran away from home and lived with the junkies sleeping rough in Washington Square Park. On the way there are the amazing cast of characters and lovers that came in and out of Basquiat's life - not just Warhol, but Debby Harry, Madonna, William Burroughs, Versace, Francesco Clemente and Keith Haring. And in the midst of all this the art dealers, impressarios and galleries that knew how to take Basquiat's talent and turn it fast into millions of dollars. We discover some unexpected places: Basquiat spent time in Modena, Italy, and a lot of time in Zurich and loved detox trips to the Far East and Hawaii; this is far from just a New York story. Later on he travelled to Abidjan in Cote d'Ivoire, in search of a new direction. Full of fascinating locations and scene photos from the heady late '70s and '80s NYC, and as with the other titles in the series, Desperately Seeking Basquiat also features great maps, short punchy texts and insightful quotes from Basquiat's contemporaries. For anyone into Basquiat, this delicious volume, with its cute format, really packs a punch. For anyone wanting to know more, much more, about the man behind some of the coolest, most iconic art of the 20th Century, it's indispensable.

Book excerpt: A collection of work from preeminent pop surrealism artist Caia Koopman Among lowbrow and tattoo connoisseurs Santa Cruz-based Caia is recognized as one of the most talented artists working in California. Now with her recent first solo shows in L.A. and San Francisco, she is about to get much more recognition. It's not hard to see why. Her images are sexy but empowered, reference the best iconography from the world of tattoo (Day of the Dead and old school roses), and can be ironically very candypop-pink or have an alluring old-fashioned Art Nouveau quality. What they are is instantly very hip and very now. Raining Pink is a stunning collection of Caia's best work. With this, and recent features in Juxtapoz among others, her reputation is set to grow and grow.
