Each day last October, the British street artist known as Banksy left his mark on New York City, hitting all five boroughs in a self-styled â“residencyâ” that included paintings on walls, roving theme trucks, videos on his website, sculptures and more—leaving fans delighted and critics enraged. Artist and art critic Carol Diehl follows Banksy’s clues to explore the overarching philosophies that drive this prankster, who calls himself a â“good vandal.â”

Among the galleries and museum where Diehl has exhibited her work, are the Sidney Janis Gallery, Hirschl & Adler Modern, and Gary Snyder Fine Art, the Queens Museum of Art, the Aldrich Museum and, in 2012, the Berkshire Museum in Massachusetts. She is the recipient of artists’ fellowships from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and the New York Foundation for the Arts.

A Contributing Editor to Art in America, Diehl has written cover stories on Robert Irwin, Olafur Eliasson, Christian Marclay and Wolfgang Laib. Her writing has also been published in, among others, ARTnews, Art & Auction, and New York Magazine. In 2012 she received a fellowship from the Creative Capital/Andy Warhol Foundation for her blog, Art Vent.

Diehl has served on the faculties of Bennington College (VT) and the Graduate Fine Arts Program of the School of Visual Arts (NYC). She lives in New York City and Southwestern Massachusetts.
