  • 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.

Did You Know?

In a short period of ten years Vincent van Gogh made approximately 900 paintings and 1500 drawings. Vincent’s brother’s wife collected Vincent’s paintings and letters after his death, largely because she very much needed the money. Her dedication to the work led to Vincent’s finally getting the recognition he deserved.
