What is the missing word in graffiti artist Banksy's 2005 compilation ___ and Piece?
"""Pictures of Walls"" is a compilation book of pictures of the work of other, graffiti artists, curated and self-published by Banksy. None of them are still in print, or were ever printed in any significant number. Banksy's ""Wall and Piece"" compiled large parts of the images and writings in their original three book series, with heavy editing and some new material. It was intended for mass print, and published by Random House. The writings in their original three books had numerous grammatical errors, and his writings in them often took a dark, and angry, and a self-described paranoid tone. While"

The final piece of the month-long series was a group of balloons that together read ""BANKSY!"", tied to the wall of a building alongside the Long Island Expressway in Queens. Banksy included the message ""Save 5pointz"" in the caption for the piece on his website, referring to 5 Pointz, a nearby outdoor art exhibit considered to be a focal point of such culture that had recently been approved by the New York City Department of City Planning to"

Like most of his other works, the piece has audio accompaniment that can be heard either on the website or by calling a toll-free 800 number. In the East Village, Banksy's fifth work was housed in a delivery truck as a ""mobile garden,"" which included theatrical property showing a"
"When we lost Ozone we lost a fearless graffiti writer and as it turns out a pretty perceptive art critic. Ozone – rest in peace. On 27 April 2007, a new record high for the sale of Banksy's work was set with the auction of the work ""Space Girl and Bird"" fetching £288,000 (US$576,000) around 20 times the estimate at Bonhams of London. On 21 May 2007 Banksy gained the award for Art's Greatest living Briton. Banksy, as expected, did not turn up to collect his award and continued with his anonymous status.

"second ""Pulp Fiction"" work. The tribute was for 19-year-old British graffiti artist Ozone who, along with fellow artist Wants, was hit by an underground train in Barking, east London on 12 January 2007. Banksy depicted an angel wearing a bullet-proof vest holding a skull. They also wrote a note on their website saying: The last time I hit this spot I painted a crap picture of two men in banana costumes waving hand guns. A few weeks later a writer called Ozone completely dogged it and then wrote ""If it's better next time I'll leave it"" in the bottom corner."

However Tejaratchi later wrote in a blog post published on Reading Frenzy's website on March 18, 2012, that he discovered Banksy had mailed a letter and a copy of ""Cut It Out"" to the address in ""Crap Hound"" in 2002.

"Banksy Banksy is an anonymous England-based street artist, vandal, political activist, and film director. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stenciling technique. His works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world. Banksy's work grew out of the Bristol underground scene, which involved collaborations between artists and musicians. Banksy says that he was inspired by 3D, a graffiti artist who later became a founding member of the English musical group Massive Attack. Banksy displays his art on publicly visible surfaces"

In 2018, Banksy created a piece live, as it was being auctioned. The piece, titled, Love is in the Bin, was originally the painting, Girl with Balloon, before it was shredded at Sotheby's. While the bidding was going on, a shredder was activated from within the frame, and the piece was partially shredded, thus creating a new piece.

Graffiti still remains the one of four hip hop elements that is not considered ""performance art"" despite the image of the ""singing and dancing star"" that sells hip hop culture to the mainstream.
