We sell books that document what happened. That's it.
The story
Steve Lazarides was Banksy's photographer, agent, and gallerist from 1997 to 2008. He shot everything on film. None of it was supposed to survive.
He wasn't building an archive. He was getting the shot before they had to run. The archive happened by accident — rolls of film stuffed in boxes, burner phones in drawers, stencils behind bins.
We sell these books because Steve originally wanted everyone to own art. Priced fairly. Packaged properly. No pretension, no mythology. Just documentation of what went down.
