A unique addition to personal and academic library 20th Century Urban Art reference collections
4 April 2008
Format:Paperback
If there is such a thing as an authentic 20th Century urban artform to be found in every major city of the western world it is the phenomenon of graffiti. You don't have to speak or read German to be able to appreciate Benjamin Wolbergs' "Ubran Illustration Berlin: Street Art Cityguide", which offers a veritable compendium documenting and illustrating the diversity of that city's informal and amateur wall art that range from acts of simple vandalism to elaborately executed works of considerable complexity and artistic value. Of special value is the inclusion of a 'street art map' making "Urban Illustration Berlin" effective as a tour planning guide for on-site viewing. Interviews are included as well for those who can read German. Enhanced with a roster of thematically relevant websites for both the artists and the street art, "Urban Illustration Berlin" even features some blank-lined pages for personal notes and observations. A unique addition to personal and academic library 20th Century Urban Art reference collections, "Ubran Illustrations Berlin" is also usefully recommended for students, artists, and tourists planning an extended visit to the re-unified capital city of Germany.
Use it While it is Fresh
21 Sep 2008
Format:Paperback
Nice sampling and fairly well worked out sampling of street art in Berlin. While the book understands well the temporary dynamics of most of these interventions, it concentrates a bit too heavily in the geography of certain works while assuming that certain neighborhoods will remain active even if the artwork changes. Better to be enjoyed soon while it is most current...

Benjamin Wolbergs - One Very Angry German
5 Feb 2009
Format:Paperback
This is a worthless book and not worth the money to buy it or the time to read it. Mr. Wolbergs clearly has some sort of agenda and his philosophy and vantage point are from a person who is not well.
I really feel cheated and I would love to get my money - and time - back.
