Vol 2 — Framed
The gallery era — when the streets met the white walls
Volume 2 follows the story into the gallery years. Lazarides' photographs document the transition from street to institution — the exhibitions, the collectors, the chaos of legitimacy arriving uninvited.

The Archive
Volume 2 covers 2003 to 2008 — the years when Banksy moved from the street to the gallery, and Lazarides was running the show. Over 300 pages of previously unseen photographs from exhibitions in London, Los Angeles, and beyond.
The Photographer
By this period, Lazarides had become Banksy's agent and gallery owner. His photographs from inside the exhibitions, the studio, and the after-parties tell a story no one else could tell — because no one else was there.
What This Is
These photographs document a pivotal moment in contemporary art history. The transition from street artist to gallery phenomenon, captured from the inside by the person managing it all.
