Review
If it's one thing that Street Art New York by Jaime Rojo and Steven Harrington manages to capture more than anything else, it's the sheer energy and diversity of art that has been placed upon its walls. --Magik City February 2012
Product Description
The authors of the successful Brooklyn Street Art book expand their scope and take readers on a fast-paced run through New York City, resulting in a vibrant look at the urban art revolution happening on the streets of the city today. New York is a street art Mecca, boasting a vast outdoor gallery which encompasses walls, fences, sidewalks and just about any other available surface. Featured in this dynamic collection are approximately 200 images of works by exciting newcomers and old masters, including New Yorkers Swoon, Judith Supine, Dan Witz, Skewville, WK Interact, L.A.'s Shepard Fairey, Brazil's Os Gemeos, Denmark's Armsrock, France's Space Invader, C215, Mr. Brainwash, Germany's Herakut, London's Nick Walker and the infamous Banksy. A foreword by Carolina A. Miranda, author of the blog C-Monster.net, rounds out this compelling portrait of the state of urban art in one of its most important and supportive communities.

Format:Hardcover
Packed with a great selection of photos of murals, stencils, political graffiti and pop art. Anyone who's seen Banksy's movie Exit Through the Gift Shop will love seeing artworks by Banksy himself, Mr Brainwash and Invader. There are also several designs by en vogue British artist Nick Walker. My favourite image is Shepard Fairey's portrait of Aung San Suu Kyi. And Poster Boy's Will Ferrell stencil is hilarious!

Awesome art, survey of NYC graf art
4 Sep 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
An art book that displays the best graf artists working today and their work on the biggest canvas in the world: the streets of NYC. I loved the mix of graf artists shown here, also the pictures of the artists at work. My only complaint: the opening essays are rather brief. I would've liked to seen four or five more essays from national street art critics/artists discussing some of the pieces seen in the book. Why does Shark Toof use violent images? What has Shepard Fairey's popularity done to the movement? How does Invader's technique set him apart from others? The book needed more text -- nothing too long, since this is a book about street art, but a few expository essays would've rocked it.
