2. INFORMATIONAL WEBSITES
Banksy Unofficial
www.banksyunofficial.com
Banksy Unofficial is an incredible source to understand Banksy‘s oeuvre within its context founded by a passionate Banksy collector who has apparently “developed some kind of obsession.”
“I can only speak for myself, but I think it has to do with the rich and multilayered narrative he has created, which is expressed in almost all available techniques and formats”
“His art is perceived as both provocative and understandable by a broad public. We don’t have to be intellectuals or art snobs to enjoy his art”
Art of The State
www.artofthestate.co.uk
Art of The State is another admirable blog, not dedicated to Banksy but to street art in general with a remarkable content since the early 2000’s.
“Hi, I’m Art Of The State aka Steve Cotton, a London based photographer and this is my photo blog and personal archive. It’s been around since about 2001 and right now its having a bit of a revamp with the main categories added back in now and starting to fill up with content once more.”
