L'ultimo fuorilegge del Graffiti visivo e dell'arte non autorizzata—dalle origini locali a fenomeno globale. Negli ultimi anni, l'arte di strada è diventata più audace, più ornata, più sofisticata e—in molti casi—più accettabile. Tuttavia, l'arte pubblica non autorizzata rimane il "bambino problematico" dell'espressione culturale, l'ultimo fuorilegge delle discipline visive. È diventata anche un fenomeno globale del XXI secolo. Realizzato in collaborazione con artisti presentati, Trespass esamina l'ascesa e la portata globale del graffiti e dell'arte urbana, tracciando figure chiave, eventi e movimenti di auto-espressione nello spazio sociale della città, e la storia della riappropriazione urbana, della protesta e della performance illecita. Il primo libro a presentare l'intera portata storica, la portata globale e gli sviluppi tecnici del movimento dell'arte di strada, Trespass presenta opere chiave di 150 artisti e collega quattro generazioni di fuorilegge visionari tra cui Jean Tinguely, Spencer Tunick, Keith Haring, Os Gemeos, Jenny Holzer, Barry McGee, Gordon Matta-Clark, Shepard Fairey, Blu, Billboard Liberation Front, Guerrilla Girls e Banksy, tra gli altri. Include anche dozzine di fotografie inedite di opere perdute da tempo e leggendari lavori urbani effimeri.

The last outlaw of visual Graffiti and unsanctioned art—from local origins to global phenomenon In recent years street art has grown bolder, more ornate, more sophisticated and—in many cases—more acceptable. Yet unsanctioned public art remains the problem child of cultural expression, the last outlaw of visual disciplines. It has also become a global phenomenon of the 21st century. Made in collaboration with featured artists, Trespass examines the rise and global reach of graffiti and urban art , tracing key figures, events and movements of self-expression in the city’s social space, and the history of urban reclamation, protest, and illicit performance. The first book to present the full historical sweep, global reach and technical developments of the street art movement, Trespass features key works by 150 artists ,and connects four generations of visionary outlaws including Jean Tinguely , Spencer Tunick, Keith Haring, Os Gemeos , Jenny Holzer , Barry McGee , Gordon Matta-Clark, Shepard Fairey, Blu, Billboard Liberation Front , Guerrilla Girls and Banksy , among others. It also includes dozens of previously unpublished photographs of long-lost works and legendary, ephemeral urban artworks. Also
