Published for the Millon & Associés auction held at Drouot Montaigne, Paris, on 14 June 2010, Street Art & Designdocuments one of the earliest French auction sales devoted exclusively to the convergence of street art, graffiti, urban design, and contemporary collectibles. Organized in collaboration with Espace Pierre Premier, the sale notably included works from the collection of the elusive Mr. K, whose holdings reflected the emergence of graffiti and street art as legitimate fields of collecting.
Produced at a pivotal moment in the institutional recognition of urban art, the publication captures the transition of graffiti and street art from subcultural practices to objects of the international art market. Alongside works by leading graffiti writers and street artists, the catalogue includes designer toys, artist multiples, limited editions, and contemporary design objects, reflecting the increasingly porous boundaries between fine art, popular culture, fashion, and collectible design that characterized the late 2000s.
