Description
Street art, whose origins reach back to illegal graffiti, develops as an expression of art, protest and enthusiasm for life into one of the most democratic forms of art, becoming an integral part of public spaces in many cities. The works are created amid urban settings that serve as inspiration for artists—often rebellious, sometimes playful, but always thought-provoking. Large murals play a particularly important role: enormous artworks covering entire façades and often conveying political or socially critical messages. Through large-format photographs by Michael Harker, this photographic book reveals the unique appeal and significance of this art form with examples from street-art hotspots in Berlin, Lisbon, Paris, Bangkok and New York.
