Earlier this year, Gestalten published a fist book about the art of Vhils. Including a preface by **Marc and Sara Schiller** (who you probably better know as *Wooster Collective*), the book presents not just Vhils’ popular wall stencils, but also other projects he worked on between 2007 and 2011, like the *Nothing lasts Forever* and *To Have or to Be* series, or *Scratching the Surface* and the *Disintegration* series. It also includes his major exhibitions at Lazarides Gallery in London and Los Angeles... All in all, the book contains about 150 colorful and high-quality pages and is a perfect x-mas present for those you love artists who not only add paint onto surfaces but also carve, drill, scratch, rip or blast their images out of walls!
