Walls & Frames book launch @ POW 08/12/11, by closeencounters on Nov 26, 2011 16:08:22 GMT 1, Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere. Definitely one to add to the Christmas list and looking forward to seeing the hand finished ones too.
Walls & Frames: Fine Art from the Streets
Walls & Frames is a cutting-edge collection of recent work by young artists who are moving from the street into galleries. These ambitious talents are keeping their connection to the street alive while establishing themselves in the art market with work in traditional formats such as painting, sculpture, installation, and prints. The book shows how artists, who work with limited time and a small selection of tools on the street, are developing other styles, concepts, and techniques in the studio that are, in turn, influencing the direction of contemporary art.
. . . .
Street art has firmly established itself as a facet and attitude in the landscape of contemporary art. Today, young artists are going beyond their work on the streets to present their innovative styles in galleries. They are aspiring to follow in the footsteps of stars of the scene such as Shepard Fairey, Faile, and Os Gรชmeos, who have already exhibited their work in renowned museums including the Tate Modern and Fondation Cartier.
Walls & Frames documents the work of this next generation of street artists. The book presents the evolution of these ambitious talents, who are keeping their connection to the street alive while establishing themselves in the art market with work in traditional formats such as painting, sculpture, and prints.

Interviews with the artists and other insiders as well as an insightful text by the curator Maximiliano Ruiz illuminate the context, working methods, and perspectives involved in this inspiring scene.
