Berlin Street Art- USED

“Photographer Sven Zimmerman has been surveying the streets, sidewalks, and facades of his home town for the most arresting, humorous, politically savvy, angry, and just plain outrageous examples of street art. In this book he looks at the modern city with a fresh eye and to pay attention to images we might otherwise fail to notice.  Berlin Street Art  offers compelling proof that the urban landscape is teeming with artistic masterpieces, if you just know how and where to find them”

“Street art is a phenomenon which exists across the world’s urban centres. What was once regarded as a nuisance at best or vandalism at worst, is now increasingly being recognised as an important art form. This book brings together the finest examples of street art in Berlin, a city bursting with artistic energy and expression. Working primarily at night, street artists, some of whom like London’s Banksy have achieved cult status, leave their messages on building facades, post-boxes, advertisements, traffic signs and rubbish bins. The author has spent many years capturing the ephemeral street art before it is removed by the authorities. Here he collects the best photographs of the works of the city’s pre-eminent street artists”.
