  • Exit Through the Gift Shop
    Exit Through the Gift Shop
    When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.

He met Ada Del Moro (born 1928) and began what would become a long collaboration, as artist and model.  They married in 1958. Ada thrilled her husband to the point where he painted her forty times from 1957 to 2005. Rather than a titillating muse, Ada has served as a comforting and intimate companion. They remain married to this day, and live in SoHo in New York.
