Fabulous book. And even more pleasing as it has the etching by blu that I have, in it! Blu for me remains the truest and most talented of all street artists (probably).

Couldn't agree more. Would love to see a further edition/update.

There's a only a few bits of graffiti like a Seen wholecar and some of Keith Hร ring's chalk drawings but, apart from them being incredible photographs in their own right, the work also provides the context for what Dondi, Lee and co. were doing at the time. It seemed like a good time to post this as he has a retrospective opening later this week at Fundaciรณn MAPFRE in Madrid. Another great book for providing context is Martha Cooper's 'Hip Hop Files: Photographs 1979-1984' which documents all four elements of hip hop during this period.

It's a fantastic book and the one I'd recommend over the others I've seen on the subject of street/urban art. The publishers (Gestalten) also published another of similar size and quality called Walls and Frames shop.gestalten.com/walls-and-frames.html

I think collaborations can often result in the artists just diluting what is great about the other artist's work. But then you get something like Wrinkles in the City that just feels perfect and is more than the sum of its parts. Parlรก's monographs are a bit unnecessarily expensive but 'Walls, Diaries and Paintings' is a more affordable option and a good place to start:
There's also a beautiful little film of the Wrinkles in the City project which is 30 minute well spent:

This book has some great pictures of street art in situ, showing its broader environment. Great book - picked it up a few years ago and one of the first pages I looked at was coincidentally nearly the same view from my new apartment

Recommended Art Books, by Feral Things on Jun 2, 2016 20:24:45 GMT 1, Swoon's self-titled book covers the decade which followed her first putting up work in the street in 2000. The book includes, amongst many other projects, her early paper-cuts around New York, her first show at Deitch Projects, the Miss Rockaway project and her work connected with the Mexican femicide. Collaboration is central to Swoon's artistic practice, so it's nice that the book includes lots of photos of this context. Surprisingly, this is the only monograph which Swoon has released so far but there's some beautiful photos of her Swimming Cities project in Todd Seelie's 'Bright Nights', which is a great book in its own right.

Recommended Art Books, by Feral Things on Jun 7, 2016 14:09:12 GMT 1, Urban Discipline was a series of exhibitions organised by Dain in Germany. The pick of the years was 2002 which included Banksy, Os Gรชmeos and Alรซxone, as well as German artists like SatOne, Stohead and Hendrik Beikirch. The books provide a nice mix of studio work and street work and you can see how much all the artists' work has progressed and changed during the intervening period. There were also books published for the 2000 and 2001 exhibitions and all three can be viewed online here.
