STREET ART NYC

|

Street Art NYC showcases both sanctioned and unsanctioned works captured in the course of a transformative decade that saw the emergence of over a dozen distinctly engaging projects. The hugely popular Bushwick Collective, LISA Project NYC and Welling Court Mural Project are highlighted with introductory essays. Local community-based projects and festivals, as well as those responding to specific environmental and social issues, are also represented. Banksy's one month 2013 residency, Better Out Than In is documented with words and images. And homage is paid to the legendary 5Pointz graffiti and street art mecca.

Street Art NYC is is a beautifully designed hardcover book. The full color photographs, printed on thick-coated paper, capture the art in the city, and the text provides the context. This is the only book to spotlight the transformational decade that marked the shift from largely unsanctioned to widely curated street art throughout New York City’s five boroughs.
