Product Description
Graffiti World, now updated, is the most comprehensive and bestselling survey of graffiti art ever published. The original collection of more than 2,000 illustrations by over 150 artists around the world is joined by a new section devoted to work created in the five years since the book's first edition. Graffiti has long been a ubiquitous aspect of the urban landscape, since anonymous, largely unsung spray-can art first hit city walls in New York and Philadelphia in the late 1960s. As hip-hop culture spread from America, graffiti became a worldwide phenomenon, emerging in the 1980s as the symbolic artistic language of young people everywhere. Today's graffiti artists incorporate a variety of mediums, including stickers, stencils, oils, acrylics, and oil-based chalk, as well as an ever-expanding range of social commentary. This evolution in style and subject matter has guaranteed graffiti's long-lasting influence on art, graphic design, and style around the world.

Absolutely Beautiful May 21, 2010
Zach McKeown (WILMINGTON, NC, US)
This book is absolutely fantastic and with its gorgeous photography and interesting biographies it really fills a void of appreciation for the art style. Anyone into art of any style should give this book a chance, it has some really astonishing work on display. Easily five stars.
Makes a great gift! February 3, 2010

This is a great piece of work! All continents are being covered and illustrated with an abundance of pictures. The only thing I don't really get is the picking of the artists by the author. There are a lot of influential writers that aren't mentioned in this book. I, for example, are from Holland, and the crews that are chosen are limited to a few, and there actually are some better, higher quality crews to choose from.
All in all, a great book!
