Today, street art has traveled to nearly every corner of the globe, evolving into a highly complex and ornate art form. The World Atlas of Street Art and Graffiti is the definitive survey of international street art, focusing on the world's most influential urban artists and artworks. Since the lives and works of urban artists are inextricably linked to specific streets and places, this beautifully illustrated volume features specially commissioned "city artworks" that provide an intimate understanding of these metropolitan landscapes. Organized geographically by country and city, more than 100 of today's most important street artists - including Espo in New York, Shepard Fairey in Los Angeles, Os Ge?meos in Brazil, and Anthony Lister in Australia - are profiled alongside key examples of their work. The evolution of street art and graffiti within each region is also chronicled, providing essential historical context. With contributions by the foremost authorities on street art and graffiti, this landmark publication provides a nuanced understanding of a widespread contemporary art practice. The World Atlas of Street Art and Graffiti emphasizes urban art's powerful commitment to a spontaneous creativity that is inherently connected to the architecture of the metropolis." -- Publisher's website. 606 $aStreet art 606 $aGraffiti 606 $aMural painting and decoration 606 $aGraffiti artists 615 0$aStreet art. 615 0$aGraffiti. 615 0$aMural painting and decoration. 615 0$aGraffiti artists. 676 $a751.7/3 700 $aSchacter$b Rafael$01520579 702 $aFekner$b John 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798417503321 996 $aThe world atlas of street art and graffiti$93759258 997 $aUNINA
