STREET ART (ART ESSENTIALS) (PB)

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 art galleries and the art market, embracing many new materials, styles and techniques along the way, and heavily influencing design, fashion, advertising and visual culture.
