DESCRIPTION:
Really it's a great book, part fiction, part document, it's in a category all of it's own. . I've got every darn book printed on the scene including my now much revered first edition of Faith of Graffiti by dear dead Norman Mailer and this magnificent tome beats them all, even anything by El Banksy
Wonderful, visual anthology I received "Untitled II" as a gift, and that prompted me to purchased this initial volume. Although I found vol. 2 much more interesting, this issue set the stage for the author's particular approach: sections of styles, sections of artists/authors, and critical commentary sprinkled throughout. In vol. 2, his commentary is much more sophisticated and academic in nature, covering topics such as "Is this a . "Five Stars" according to colleen antonucci. This was a gift for a friends and they loved it!. Interesting and provocative book, part hoax and part hype, but it's street art as book Michael A. Duvernois A quick caution, don't believe everything you read. This is a fun book, a provocation thrown into the bookstore by street artists (re)writing their history and philosophy. In many ways this is the precursor to Exit Through The Gift Shop (Banksy and Fairey's half hoax, half documentary movie). The photography of the works is quite good as well.I could go on, but this is best seen in person if you have more
11 Spring St NY was a much-loved site that became a graffiti landmark. Includes works by Banksy, Faile, Dface, Swoon, Bast, Blu, Blek Le Rat, Obey, Dolk, Eine, Gaia, Elbowtoe, Hush, Copyright, Mir, Dan Witz, Space Invader, Armsrock, Doze Green, Know Hope, Skullphone, WKInteract, Skewville, Borf, Ame72, Sam3, Eelus, Miss Bugs, Rene Gagnon, The London Police, Michael De Feo and many more.. Before it was redeveloped it inspired acts of love and passion: Lou Reed made it the subject of a poem and Untitled preserves it in all of its glory. Vile passions rage between old schools and new. Oh, and Banksy hits the West Bank. Fungus grows on your collected wild-style pioneers. This is art driven by existential hunger, art that attacks you
