Description
A guide to the art, artists and culture of graffiti from the 1970s to the present day, told by the taggers themselves
This major collaborative publication with the Museum of Graffiti chronicles the worldwide graffiti movement from its birth in the 1970s, through the street and train murals of the 1980s, to its emergence as an artistic genre admired in museums and sold at auction. Featuring hundreds of never-before-seen photographs of graffiti art from the 1970s to today, many of which were provided exclusively for this volume by the artists themselves, the book offers an insider's look from Sane Smith, Hotboy Hert, DESA, Shirt King Phade, RIME, MadC, Sabre, AURA, and others through several interviews with famous graffiti artists, including Roger Smith.
Told through essays, hundreds of images and interviews with the artists - both the underground outlaws and the writers who went mainstream - The Wide World of Graffiti becomes the standard bearer of the art form's history and contemporary life, a unique contribution the first and only museum dedicated to the art form of graffiti.
