Discover 100 street artists transforming cities into open-air galleries
Street art documentation needs to move beyond simple photography collections. This volume presents approximately 100 artists through their own selected works, pieces they consider their most innovative contributions to transforming urban spaces into open-air museums. That curatorial approach, where practitioners choose what represents their practice, reveals intentions and evolution that standard documentation misses.
Christian Hundertmark's fourth installment in this series maintains the editorial rigor that put 100,000 copies of previous volumes into circulation. The 9.25x11.75 format provides enough scale to appreciate detail in wheat-paste installations, stencil work, and interventions that span building facades. You encounter diverse approaches: Dave the Chimp's character work, Swoon's intricate paper cuts, Vhils's carved portraits, Space Invader's tile mosaics. The range spans technique, geography, and intent, from political commentary to pure visual pleasure.
208 pages organize work by artist rather than geographic region or style, letting you see individual practices develop. Artists like Eltono, M-City, and WK Interact demonstrate how repeated exploration of specific visual languages creates recognizable bodies of work within ephemeral contexts. This documentation captures pieces before weather, removal, or overpainting erases them, the inevitable fate of street work makes thorough photographic records essential for anyone studying contemporary public art.
