2 Art Of Rebellion III Christian Hundertmark
Publikat 3939566292 / 9783939566298 Paperback New 
Since the publication of The Art of Rebellion #1 in 2002, the street art genre has exploded into the mainstream. The author, Christian Hundertmark, also known as artist C100, has been inside the scene since day one, which enables him to have first-class info about what's fresh in the street art world. The focus of this book is not on the ubiquitous stickers and stencils found everywhere today; instead, Hundertmark uses his insider knowledge to carefully curate the selection, showcasing only the most outstanding and engaging work. Street art's ability to inject wit, whimsy, and social commentary into commonplace urban environments is evident in projects such as a street sign masked with a bright yellow daisy, or a plain white wall with the word "BAD" scrawled across it in bright red script. With more than 200 full color pages, The Art of Rebellion #3 is an unforgettable visual journey through the latest and greatest street art.

6 History Of American Graffiti Roger Gastman, Caleb Neelon
HarperCollins Publishers Inc 0061698784 / 9780061698781 Hardcover New 
Unprecedented in scope, "The History of American Graffiti" is the definitive story behind the most influential art form of the last one hundred years. Tracing the evolution of the medium from its early freight-train days to its big-city boom on the streets of New York City and Philadelphia, and to its modern-day influences, this volume is a compelling look at the key moments, places, and players in an art form distinctly American in flavor yet global in its reach.
Featuring behind-the-scenes stories and profiles gleaned from more than four years' worth of interviews with graffiti's most prominent names, as well as its lesser-known pioneers, authors Roger Gastman and Caleb Neelon provide an insider's perspective on the history of the medium. Not only do they reveal the most popular trends and styles that have dominated the scene for the last fifty years but they also provide a thorough examination of the regional differences among major American hubs--New York, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Chicago--and under-the-radar scenes in cities like Washington, D.C., Boston, and Miami. All told, more than twenty-five American cities are profiled, making this one of the most comprehensive volumes on the subject.
With more than one thousand photographs--the majority of which are seen here for the first time--from more than two hundred photographers, most of whom also created the artwork, "The History of American Graffiti" captures the look and feel of a genuine American art form with exceptional clarity and detail. An instant classic, this book is the ultimate resource to which aficionados of the art form will turn again and again, and which the uninitiated will regard as the definitive tutorial of all that is graffiti.

11 Tag Town: The Evolution of New York Graffiti Writing Tobias Barenthin Lindblad (Foreword), Martha Cooper (Photographer)
Dokument 9185639052 / 9789185639052 Paperback New 
The Evolution of New York Graffiti Writing 1963-82. Tag Town is the first book to show early tags in their context. Tags are designed street names written in the public domain. They are one of the most despised phenomena since long hair on men. They have burrowed their way into the big cities of the world working both to annoy and tell stories. Now they tell the tale of how the biggest and most vital artistic trend of the late 20th century originated among children and youths. Tags are the blueprint and uncouth offspring of graffiti writing culture. The earliest tags in New York were developed in Washington Heights North Manhattan. Cooper documented backyards bridge supports parks and pedestrian tunnels with the precision of an ethnographer. The walls were still full of tags from the 60s and 70s a forgotten gallery.
