Street-Art Berlin: Kunst im öffentlichen Raum
Bernhard van Treeck
1999
Berlin is a paradise for artists whose field of work is the street. The German capital has quietly developed into a centre of street art in recent years. The most spectacular example of this is the media appearance of the artist couple Christo and Jeanne Claude. In 1995 they attracted millions of visitors with the Wrapped Reichstag project. A whole series of artists work in the Berlin cityscape, often hardly noticed by the public until now, and expand the sphere of influence of art by including everyday living space. Street-Art Berlin is the first book that shows the entire range of this art movement. Starting with the legal sculptures in the cityscape and the typefaces of the writers to modern street artists such as Documenta artists Norbert Radermacher, Christian Hasucha, and the anarchist creative duo P.t.t.red. Anyone interested in creative chaos will not want to miss this book.
