Graffiti Paris

By Fabienne Grevy

Graffiti artists in Paris, much like in New York and Los Angeles, have transformed urban spaces--sidewalks, metro stations, staircases, abandoned buildings--into showrooms that exhibit their work in all of its many mediums, from a proliferation of stickers to cleverly applied stencils to giant murals. In Graffiti Paris , Fabienne Grevy takes readers on a tour of Paris's street art, and also discusses the variety of unique sources that inspire the artists, including the cave paintings at Lascaux, nineteenth-century Japanese blockprints, and comics.
