The birth and rise of street art has been thoroughly researched and documented, the welldeserved laurels long presented to the movement’s pioneers. But "Graffiti in Poland 1940-2010" adds new pieces to the patchwork, showing artists and phenomena that took place behind the Iron Curtain simultaneously with – and sometimes earlier than – what Western graffiti experts consider the ‘beginning’.
The book is a fascinating journey through seven decades of largely unknown street art work and a portrait of Poland’s vibrant graffiti and street art scene today.
