Published to accompany Leclere Maison de Ventes' Street Art auction held in Marseille on June 17, 2011, this catalogue documents one of the earliest specialist auctions in France devoted exclusively to graffiti and contemporary urban art. Bringing together works by pioneering New York writers, influential European graffiti artists, and internationally recognised street art figures, the sale reflected the rapid emergence of urban art as a distinct collecting category within the French and international auction markets. Richly illustrated throughout, the catalogue features an exceptional selection of paintings, drawings, editions, sculptures, and mixed-media works by artists including Seen, Taki 183, Stay High 149, Cope2, T-Kid 170, Noe Two, Speedy Graphito, CES, Quik, Indie 184, and Robert Sgarra, among others. The diversity of the catalogue reflects both the historical foundations of New York graffiti and the international evolution of contemporary urban art.
