An authoritative guide to the most significant artists, schools, and styles of street art and graffiti around the world Painted murals first appeared in Latin America in the early 20th century; in the 1950s, spray-can graffiti associated with Latino gangs followed, notably the “cholo” graffiti of Los Angeles. 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 Gêmeos 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.

Street Art every bit as beautiful as gallery art!
This is a wonderful book that I obviously throughly enjoyed. Not only is there an op art quality that is seductive but the size and quality of the art are equally breath taking. I hope this book brings the same pleasure to you that it brought me. The funny thing about this book is that I opened it thinking I wouldn't like it because I don't like urban 'taggers' who soil the walls and properties of businesses and homes in my city,San Francisco,but instead found samples of government & business sanctioned 'street art' that truly added to the beauty of cities all around the world. I would love to hear from anyone else pro or con on this book.

Really nice book
Beautiful book. Great for gift giving to that artist or enthusiast in your life. Nice conversation piece and coffee table book. Good quality binding, pages, printing. Book came in 10/10 condition. This was bought as a gift. Thinking about buying one for myself.

So much fun to thumb through and read when I pick it ...
So much fun to thumb through and read when I pick it up. It's on my coffee table. Street art is a mixed bag and while I'm not a fan of random graffiti on public property, it has really become an accepted art and is frequently commissioned in my neighborhood in Nashville. The talent that many of these artists have is crazy good.

great balance of imagery and text
Recently purchased for my boyfriend's birthday. He's a frequent traveller and has taken more than a few street art tours along his travels. Great comprehensive book with a great balance of imagery and text. Only reason i didn't give a 5 star is I felt there were a few countries/cities with great street art scenes (possibly lesser known but definitely worth writing about) that were missing from the text. Great book overall!

what a hit!
I bought this for a friend in prison. He loves art. This book overjoyed him. It is something he cant get in the prison library. He is a graphics artist and has done murals for the prison. This was a good investment.

Buch Top - Amazon der letzte Dreck
Um das direkt loszuwerden: Das Buch ist klasse und war ein schönes Geschenk zu Weihnachten. Hardcover, gute Druckqualität und hochwertige Fotos. Amazon hingegen ist absolut unterirdisch schlecht geworden was Service, Leistung und technische Lösungen anbelangt. Ich habe das Buch an Black Friday bestellt und es sollte am 03.12. geliefert werden. Da sowohl Freitag Nacht als auch Samstag und Sonntag der Status der Bestellung nicht aktualisiert wurde habe ich mich insgesamt 4 mal mit dem Amazon Kundenservice in Verbindung gesetzt um 4 mal angelogen zu werden. „Es würde sich gekümmert“ oder Experten seien kontaktiert und in all der Zeit wurde mir als angepeiltes Lieferdatum ein Datum im Januar angezeigt. Tatsächlich wurde das Buch dann nur 10 Tage zu spät und beschädigt geliefert. Toller Service. Da es ein Weihnachtsgeschenk war, habe ich es nicht riskieren wollen erneut von Amazon enttäuscht zu werden und dem beschenkten lieber um Verständnis gebeten, dass Amazon absolut grottenschlecht geworden ist. Das ist allgemein bekannt, also konnte es es verkraften.

Bellissimo da leggere e da guardare
Ottimo libro, la carta utilizzata è molto bella, piacevole da sfogliare ed adatta a stampe fotografiche in grande risoluzione. E' un ottimo titolo, consigliato a tutti gli amanti dell'arte non solo per chi apprezza la street art. Consigliatissimo
