ANTOLOGÍA DEL ARTE URBANO

How can we explain the cultural phenomenon that street art has become? What makes it unique from an artistic standpoint? What are its codes and its language? How has this art form that was originally confined almost exclusively to urban spaces invaded galleries, bringing with it great popularity for some artists? This unique anthology seeks to answer t these questions by tracing the history of the genre from its beginnings in the mid-1970s to the issues that it raises today. Along the way, it paints portraits of street art’s key international names. Street Art is a journey into the heart of one of the major currents of contemporary art by an expert in this artistic movement.
