The Wide World Of Graffiti
The Wide World Of Graffiti is a guide to the art, artists, and culture of graffiti from the 1970s to today, as told by the taggers themselves.
This significant collaboration between the Museum of Graffiti and our publication serves as a comprehensive chronicle of the global graffiti movement. It traces its origins in the 1970s, its evolution through street and train painting in the 1980s, and its transformation into an esteemed artistic genre displayed in museums and auctioned worldwide. Through an extensive collection of previously unpublished photographs capturing graffiti art from the 1970s to the present day, including exclusive contributions from the artists themselves, this book provides an insider’s perspective.
The volume features in-depth interviews with renowned graffiti artists such as Roger Smith of Sane Smith, Hotboy Hert, DESA, Shirt King Phade, RIME, MadC, Saber, AURA, and others. Their personal insights, along with essays and a multitude of images, offer a comprehensive portrayal of the art form. By delving into the stories of both underground outlaws and writers who gained mainstream recognition, “The Wide World of Graffiti” emerges as the definitive record of the art form’s history and current vitality. This publication stands as a unique contribution from the first and only museum dedicated to graffiti as a respected art form, establishing itself as a standard-bearer for the movement.
