This global and visually stunning volume showcases some of the most impressive works of street art and graffiti from around the world. Emerging on the East Coast of the United States in the late 1960s, street art has traveled to nearly every corner of the globe, transforming into complex and vibrant new styles. This unique atlas represents the first truly geographic survey of urban art, revised and updated in 2023 to include new voices, increased representation of women, and cities emerging as street art hubs. It includes specially commissioned works by significant graffiti and street artists, offering an insider's view of the urban landscape as experienced by the artists themselves. Organized geographically by continent and city—from New York, Los Angeles, and Montreal in North America, through Mexico City and Buenos Aires in Latin America, to London, Berlin, and Madrid in Europe, as well as Sydney and Auckland in the Pacific, and entirely new chapters covering Africa and Asia—it profiles over 100 of the most important artists of today and includes over 700 stunning pieces of art. Beautifully illustrated and produced with the help of many of the artists featured, this book rejects the idea of this art form as abstract destruction of clean surfaces and instead celebrates it as a contemporary and highly creative record on the skin of the built environment.
