Banksy’s 2005 book collecting photographs of his graffiti and paintings is titled Wall and Piece.
Wall and Piece was published in 2005 and brought together images of Banksy’s stencil works, paintings, installations, and graffiti. It also includes writing attributed to Banksy, allowing the book to function as both a visual catalogue and a statement of his approach to public art.
The title combines “wall,” the surface traditionally associated with graffiti, and “piece,” a term used in graffiti culture for a completed artwork. The book helped introduce Banksy’s work to readers who might never encounter a particular piece on the street, where many works were temporary or vulnerable to removal.
Wall and Piece is sometimes confused with Banksy’s later book Banging Your Head Against a Brick Wall, which was first published in 2001. The two books are related, but Wall and Piece is the 2005 compilation most directly associated with his wider international profile.
