Summary:

"Street Art Today 2 gives an overview of the 50 most relevant artists now. Including the likes of Banksy, JR, Hyuro, Wasted Rita, Icy & Sot, Pejac, Faith47, Axel Void, etc. Artists who serve as an example of what street art is today and will be tomorrow. Over the last few years, we see street art festivals rising up around the world, companies hiring artists to paint billboards in the city and city councils attracting artists to gentrify neighborhoods. The questions rises: 'Is street art still street?'. Having escaped the underground scene in many instances, how has it evolved and what is its future?"-- Back cover.
