Summary:
"
Street
Art
is a phenomenon and subcultural movement that reaches from the darkest urban backstreets to the most glamorous international
art
fairs. Simon Armstrong examines how it evolved from its origins in the 1970s New York graffiti scene to embrace many new materials, styles and techniques along the way, tracing how this marginal
art
form graduated into
art
galleries and the
art
market, while also heavily influencing design, fashion, advertising and visual culture. Despite having earned a place in the canon of 20th-century
art
history,
Street
Art
's qualifications are often disputed both by the
art
establishment and practitioners themselves, all concerned with notions of authenticity. Examining
Street
Art
's controversial history in detail, this book provides a full-colour worldwide journey, taking in all of the movement's significant artists and artworks, styles, materials and methods, and showcasing the works that have come to define it more than any other. It also examines its close relationship to Pop
Art
and Digital
Art
, and explores possible futures for
Street
Art
