Forty years ago, graffiti in New York evolved from elementary
mark-making into an important art form. By the end of the 1980s, it
had been documented in books and films that were seen around the
world, sparking an international graffiti movement. Art in the
Streets, now back in print after several years, considers the rise
of New York graffiti and the international scenes it inspired from
Los Angeles to Sao Paulo to Paris to Tokyo as well as earlier and
parallel movements: the break dancing and rap music of hip-hop; the
graffiti used by Chicano gangs to mark their territory; the
skateboarding culture that began in Southern California. Expertly
researched, beautifully illustrated, and featuring contributions by
many of the most significant curators, writers, and artists
involved in the graffiti world, this now classic volume is an
in-depth examination of this seminal movement.
