OverviewIn the past three or four years, Detroit has become a ""spraycation"" spot for graffiti artists. Formerly known as the automotive capital of the world, the media now refers to the Motor City as a bankrupt ruin-a shadow of its former self. Thanks to the city's street artists, however, Detroit is experiencing an artistic renaissance. The author has recorded the work produced by these graffiti writers and documented the evolution of Detroit street art culture in more than a dozen neighbourhoods in and around this resilient Midwest city between 2008 and 2013. This photographic dossier is the first book to exclusively feature graffiti from Detroit, where one in every five structures is vacant, abandoned, or dilapidated. As industry disappears, the number of vacant walls increases, drawing the attention of the most talented graffiti artists and writers on the planet. 511 colour photos Full Product DetailsAuthor: Chris FreitagPublisher: Schiffer Publishing Ltd Imprint: Schiffer Publishing Ltd Weight: 1.424kg ISBN: 9780764346880ISBN 10: 0764346881 Pages: 192 Publication Date: 28 December 2014 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
