Street Art New York, by Steven P. Harrington and Jaime Rojo, with a foreword by Carolina A. Miranda, published in April 2010 by Prestel Publishing (Random House).
The authors of the successful Brooklyn Street Art book (and founders of BrooklynStreetArt.com) expand their scope and take readers on a fast-paced run through the streets of New York, along the waterways, on the rooftops, and up the walls of today's ever-morphing vibrant Street Art scene as only NYC can tell it.
With an introduction by noted cultural journalist Carolina A. Miranda (C-Monster.net) putting Street Art in the context of the personal experience of a New Yorker, readers will be taken aback by this compelling portrait of the state of urban art featuring work on the streets of New York from 102 artists from around the world. With a collection of aproximately 200 images by exciting new comers as well as beloved "old masters" such as New Yorkers Swoon, Judith Supine, Dan Witz, Faile, Skewville, WK Interact, LA's Shepard Fairey, Brazil's Os Gemeos, Ethos, Denmark's Armsrock, France's Space Invader, C215, Mr. Brainwash, Germany's Herakut, Belgium's ROA, London's Nick Walker, Connor Harrington, and the infamous Banksy.
