In recent years street art has grown bolder, more sophisticated and in some cases, more acceptable. Yet unsanctioned public art remains the problem child of cultural expression, it has also become a global phenomenon of the 21st century. Not just another book on street art, Trespass features key works by 150 artists from around the world, and connects four generations of visionary outlaws such as Keith Haring, Jean Tinguely, Barry McGee, Guerrilla Girls, Shepard Fairey, Banksy and many more. The 318-page book also contains pieces of history, including unpublished photographs and images of street art by Keith Haring, Jean-michel Basquiat and Martha Cooper. The book starts with a quote from Queen Mary.
