This truly global and visually stunning compendium showcases some of the most breath-taking pieces of street art and graffiti from around the world.<\/p>\n
Since its genesis on the East Coast of the United States in the late 1960s, street art has travelled to nearly every corner of the globe, morphing into highly ornate and vibrant new styles.<\/p>\n
This unique atlas is the first truly geographical survey of urban art, revised and updated in 2023 to include new voices, increased female representation and cities emerging as street art hubs.<\/p>\n
Featuring specially commissioned works from major graffiti and street art practitioners, it offers you an insider\u2019s view of the urban landscape as the artists themselves experience it.<\/p>\n
Organized geographically, by continent and by city \u2013 from New York, Los Angeles and Montreal in North America, through Mexico City and Buenos Aires in Latin America, to London, Berlin and Madrid in Europe, Sydney and Auckland in the Pacific, as well as brand new chapters covering Africa and Asia \u2013 it profiles more than 100 of today\u2019s most important artists and features over 700 astonishing artworks.<\/p>\n
This beautifully illustrated book, produced with the help of many of the artists it features, dispels the idea of such art as a thoughtless defacement of pristine surfaces, and instead celebrates it as a contemporary and highly creative inscription upon the skin of the built environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
