An observation of street art in New York City. Page after page of high quality photographs of these temporal works. Features many works of the greats, including Banksy and Invader. Offers very little text or information about the artists themselves, though that speaks to the happenstance and anonymity of street art. There is an index of artist websites that proves useful. The index to the book itself, however, proves difficult to utilize in that there are wide gaps in the numbered pages.
