Summary:	"As an expression of art, protest, and a zest for life, street art, whose origins date back to illegal graffiti, has developed into the most democratic of art forms, and has long since become an integral part of public spaces in many cities. The works are created amidst urban structures, which serve as the artists' inspiration - often rebellious, sometimes playful, but always stirring. Big murals - huge works of art occupying entire façades, and often bearing a political or socially critical message - play a particularly prominent role here. Featuring largeformat images by photographer Michael Harker, this photo book reveals the unique appeal and significance of this art form, using examples from the street art hotspots of Berlin, Lisbon, Paris, Bangkok, and New York City."--Backcover.
