Born in the 1960s, it reached a fever pitch in 1990s New York after the end of the train era in 1989. Artists adapted, using the streets and architecture to combat alienation. It became a high-stakes game, blending aesthetics and lifestyle into a global blueprint that reconnected art with the pulse of human existence.   These artists are modern-day tricksters with a deliberate counterpoint to an ordered art world. Focusing on the 1990s-a decade of unpredictability and innovation-this book traces graffiti's evolution and its sensibilities within broader social currents. Through striking visuals and incisive text, we follow their vanguard's vision of creativity: combinational, exploratory, and transformational. This is the definitive chronicle of an era that redefined art's function in the world.  300 artists featured including: CASE 2, CAYPER, COST, DESA, DOLT, EARSNOT, FCEE, GHOST, GIZ, GREY, JA, KEZ5, LES, MQ, NATO, NOXER, RATE, REMO, REVS, RYNO, SANE, SENTO, SETUP, SKUF, VFR. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56420628038005,"sku":"9783775761635","price":54.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9783775761635.jpg?v=1774540572","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9783775761635","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
