A guide to the art, artists, and culture of graffiti from the 1970s
to today, as told by the taggers themselves This major
co-publication with the Museum of Graffiti chronicles the worldwide
graffiti movement from its birth in the 1970s, through the street
and train painting of the 1980s, to its emergence as an artistic
genre admired in museums and sold at auction. With hundreds of
never-before-seen photographs of graffiti art from the 1970s to
today, many of which have been provided exclusively for this volume
by the artists themselves, the book gives an insider's view through
multiple interviews with celebrated graffiti artists, including
Roger Smith of Sane Smith, Hotboy Hert, DESA, Shirt King Phade,
RIME, MadC, Saber, AURA, and others. 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 will become the standard-bearer of the art form's history
and life today, a unique contribution from the first and only
museum dedicated to graffiti as an art form.
