Brighton Graffiti

V dřívějších letech se v Brightonu bavili lordi, dnes je městem kvetoucí subkultury, která se zde rozvíjí od 80. let. Kniha dokumentuje historii graffiti v tomto městě, od prvních tagů až po díla mezinárodních týmů z celého světa. Text v angličtině.

The art of graffiti is alive and well in this English city by the sea, where the city and artists are working together to turn what was considered a public nuisance into a legitimate and treasured part of the Brighton experience. In page after page of powerful images, the authors present a pictorial evolution of street art, displaying an incredible range of styles and talents.

These photographs are interspersed with quotes from the most important graffiti artists who have worked in Brighton. What emerges is an inspiring example of graffiti as a valid, respected and treasured art form within the town.
