THE WORLD ATLAS OF STREET ART AND GRAFITI

Book ID/图书代码： 11180013B63607

English Summary/英文概要： Painted murals first appeared in Latin America in the early part of the twentieth century; in the 1950s, spray-can graffiti associated with Latino gangs on the East and West coasts followed, notably the “cholo” graffiti of Los Angeles. Today, Urban Art has traveled to nearly every corner of the globe, shifting and morphing into a highly complex and ornate art form. Displaying their art within what is effectively the largest, most open museum in the world, urban artists unveil their beliefs and imaginations to a public unable to avoid their work. Yet, at its best, Urban Art is not simply an aesthetic based on slogans, political posturing, or personal promotion: it is an art form deeply committed to the diversity of the street and to a spontaneous creativity that is topographically connected to the architecture of the metropolis.

From Inkie in Bristol to Steve Powers in Philadelphia, and from JR in Paris to Os Gêmeos in Brazil and Drewfunk in Australia, The World Atlas of Street Art and Graffiti is the definitive reference guide to international Urban Art. It focuses on the most influential and significant Urban Artists across the world and identifies the key locations of their work. Organized geographically, the text focuses on the individual practitioners within each country or region and explores the historical background to their works. This book strives toward a more nuanced understanding of what has become a widespread art practice.

Since the lives and works of urban artists are inextricably bound to streets and places, The World Atlas of Street Art and Graffiti features specially commissioned “city artworks” created by major artists from each of the world regions to give readers an “insider” view of the urban landscapes as they are physically experienced by these artists. This definitive reference both locates the meeting point between art and atlas, between Urban Artists and their personal understanding of public spaces, not via a cartographic bird’s-eye view but through a more intimate, human-centered perspective that challenges contemporary ideas about the mapping of urban space.

The first book to place Street Art in its worldwide geographical context and seriously examine the most significant artists, schools, and styles.
Includes specially commissioned city artworks/maps by 20 to 30 key artists.
Compiled and written by urban art expert, academic, and curator Rafael Schacter.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 街头壁画最早于上世纪50年代起源于拉丁美洲，东西海岸的拉丁裔人随后发明了喷雾涂鸦，以洛杉矶西班牙与印第安人混血裔人的涂鸦最为有名。如今，城市艺术已经在世界各地随处可见，并演变为一种非常非常复杂而华丽的艺术形式。世界的每个角落都是城市艺术家最大，最开放的博物馆，他们的理念和想象力都不受束缚地展示给公众。令人欣喜的是，城市艺术不再简单地是一个口号，政治姿态或个人推广，这种自发性的创造力已经与大都市的建筑，街道的多样性息息相关。

这本地图集集中了世界上最著名的涂鸦艺术家，布里斯托尔的Inkie，费城的Steve Powers，巴黎的JR，巴西的Os Gêmeos，还有澳大利亚的Drewfunk等，绝对能引领读者看遍世界的城市艺术。本书介绍了全球最具影响力及代表性的城市艺术家，以及他们最著名作品的所在地。按照地图划分，该地图集介绍了每个国家或地区的个人艺术家以及他们作品的历史背景。本书能使读者对这门已广泛流传的艺术有更加细致入微的了解。

既然城市艺术家的生活和工作与街道、场所息息相关，《街头涂鸦艺术的世界地图集》将每个国家和地区的著名艺术家的作品以内部的视角呈现给读者。该地图集结合了艺术与地图，融合了城市艺术家以及他们对这些场所的个人理解，不是以鸟瞰的角度，而是帮助读者更能切身体会艺术创造的过程。

这是第一本介绍世界上地标性街头艺术的书籍，以及针对最具代表性的艺术家，流派和风格的介绍。

书中还有二三十位著名艺术家的特别委约作品和地图。由城市艺术专家及策展人拉斐尔.沙克特编译并撰写。(XAT)
