A Brief History of Street Art explores the vibrant and rebellious world of art made in public spaces, tracing its evolution from simple graffiti tags to powerful murals and large-scale installations. Emerging in the late 20th century as a voice of urban youth and counterculture, street art has grown into a global phenomenon, blending creativity with social commentary. This book highlights influential figures like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Banksy, and Shepard Fairey, who transformed streets into canvases for political messages, personal expression, and cultural critique.

From New York subway trains to Berlin's walls and beyond, street art reflects the spirit of its time—raw, unfiltered, and ever-changing. The book examines how the movement challenges traditional notions of art, ownership, and public space, while also gaining recognition in galleries and institutions. A Brief History of Street Art offers an engaging introduction to a dynamic art form that continues to blur boundaries, spark conversation, and reshape the visual landscape of cities worldwide.
