A true classic. Originally published in 1987, Spraycan Art is one of the first books to document the global spread of graffiti culture beyond New York City. Following in the footsteps of Subway Art, this volume captures the explosion of spraycan creativity in cities from London to Barcelona, Chicago to Sydney.
Through hundreds of vibrant photographs and insightful commentary, Henry Chalfant and James Prigoff chronicle the early years of graffiti as a worldwide movement, featuring works on walls, trains, and abandoned buildings by now-legendary writers like Mode 2, Bando, Goldie, Delta, and many more.
More than just a visual feast, Spraycan Art is an essential historical record of the moment graffiti stepped into the global spotlight.
