Banksy

The Early Shows. 1997-2005

„The Early Shows" traces Banksy's early artistic development from tagger and music graphic designer to stencil street artist. The now-prominent Banksy rose to worldwide fame around 2006. After that, he created his works before the eyes of the world. Rather obscure are still is exhibitions before 2003, when he had his UK breakthrough with the self-organized retrospective Turf War and his album cover design for BritPop band Blur. This survey, edited by Banksy expert Ulrich Blanché, covers early Banksy shows and events 1992 until 2005. It aims to be an academic counterpart to Banksy’s artist book Wall and Piece (2005), which focused mainly on his illegal street works until then.

Ulrich Blanché is a street art researcher and Banksy expert, since 2012 at the University of Heidelberg, where he is currently completing his research project: A Street Art History of Stencils (Fritz Thyssen Stiftung funded). His habilitation was on the topic of "Monkeys in Pictures since 1859" (2021). Blanché is (co-) editor of the English anthology "Urban Art. Creating the Urban with Art" (Lisbon, 2018) and the exhibition catalog "Stencil Stories: A Stencil History of Street Art" (2022).
