The Story

Made in collaboration with its featured artists, Trespass traces the rise and global reach of graffiti and urban art, not just as a fringe visual movement but as a social phenomenon and central expression of youth.With an exclusive preface from Banksy, Trespass, now available as a popular Readers Edition, presents the full historical sweep, international spread, and technical developments of the street art movement. Featuring key works by 150 artists, it connects four generations of street practitioners, incoporating both niche artists such as Miss Van and noteworthy names as Jean Tinguely, Keith Haring, Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer, Gordon MattaClark, Billboard Liberation Front, Guerrilla Girls, and Banksy.The book is set out in thematic chapters that engage with the central theme of trespassing. While images of the works are allowed to speak for themselves, each theme is prefaced by a brief essay to provide thoughtprovoking context to the history, politics, protest, and illicit performance of selfexpression in the social space. Writers include Anne Pasternak (director of public arts fund Creative Time) and civil rights lawyer Tony Serra.
