Beyond the Streets: Vandalism as Contemporary Art Book - Roger Gastman

Beyond the Streets: Vandalism as Contemporary Art
BEYOND THE STREETS celebrates society's most pervasive mark makers and rule breakers with unprecedented purpose and scale. This book is a glimpse into the lives and careers of a diverse group of artists from graffiti, street art and other loosely intersecting art forms. With over 600 pages of photos and stories, this is just the sort of item that pretty much every artist included in this book would have stolen at one point in their career. A few probably still will.This book is a good steal, so you can't really blame them. It features countless stories of ups and downs, twists and turns, tall tells and great success, mixed in with some historical and critical essays and words of wisdom from the best of the best of the best. And for those who don't like to read, there are over a thousand images to flip through and make yourself feel smarter.Elements of graffiti and street art can be found across music, fashion and contemporary art, all helping this culture to proliferate further. Our mission is to explore these art forms and put a spotlight on the people and places that help shape and continue to define them. BEYOND THE STREETS inspires it audiences to take risks, pursue passions and make an impact on the world - even if outside the bounds of the mainstream acceptance.

Brand new still in the shrink. Plus still in the original bubble wrap and original tape from BTS.
