Street Art (Lonely Planet)
Sinopsis :
An insider's guide to discovering the world's best urban art.
From amazing wall murals to Banksy's stencils and Invader's
mosaics, we showcase 140 creative hotspots across 42 cities
and tell you how to find them, as well as introduce pioneering
artists and interview those who shaped the movement. Street
art is now present in almost every city, town and village in the
world, from Aachen to Zwolle. Its true audience is measured in
the billions. And given that the first record of homo sapiens
painting on walls is thought to date back around 40,000 years,
it's surprising that street art has taken so long to flourish.
Today, the proliferation of legal walls and organised festivals
around the world makes it possible to encounter thoughtprovoking,
transformative art in the most unexpected of places.
This visual guide to the world of street art takes in the scene in
over 40 cities and includes interviews with some of the most
prolific and well-known street artists, including Blek le Rat,

FAILE and Faith47. And with hundreds of locations plotted and
a special focus on 15 of the world's most incredible street art
festivals, this guide will help you discover artworks hidden in
plain sight around the world. About Lonely Planet: Since 1973,
