Graffiti World: Street Art from Five Continents :: 2004

Description

Following the unrelated project Autograf: New York City’s Graffiti Writers (powerHouse), which also took an auteur-based approach this past season, Granz (whose pen name is Keinom) widens the scope to present those he sees as the world’s top graffiti writers, offering alphabetical sections of artists from the Americas, Europe and “The Rest of the World.” Short prefatory histories put New York at the center of the modern graffiti world, with South American countries like Brazil later having “reached a high standard.” The work is beautifully photographed throughout; multiple pieces by each artist are laid out appealingly over verso-recto spreads, along with a paragraph by Granz detailing the artist’s origins and the main thrust of the work (and occasionally a photo of the artist him or herself). From gigantic murals to tiny stickers, Granz has seen and photographed it all and talks knowledgeably about everything from “wildstyle” fontage to the non-orthographically based “character culture,” where artists create (and replicate) cartoonish figures in various figurative exploits. Striking a colloquial balance between insider’s knowledge and thoughtful presentation, Granz’s book should be durable for its cohesion of vision, if not for the scale of presentation of each artist.

GRAFFITI WORLD is the ultimate graffiti book offering a unique insight into the very essence of graffiti and its creative explosion in almost every corner of the globe.

With over 2,000 pictures from more than 180 international artists, no other book is remotely so comprehensive or up to date. Nicholas Ganz combines his own first-hand experiences with quotes from the artists themselves to offer a true insider’s perspective to the key trends and style developments that have made graffiti what it is today: a global phenomenon.

Nicholas Ganz, aka keinom, is a young German graffiti artist who has travelled worldwide to gather material for this book.
