Wooster Collective's book about uncommissioned
urban art, published by Taschen, is one brilliant
tome. And we are happy they also feature

In recent years street art has grown bolder, more
ornate, more sophisticated andĀin many casesĀmore
acceptable. Yet unsanctioned public art remains
the problem child of cultural expression, the
last outlaw of visual disciplines. It has also
become a global phenomenon of the 21st century.
Made in collaboration with featured artists,
Trespass examines the rise and global reach of
graffiti and urban art, tracing key figures,
events and movements of self-expression in the
city's social space, and the history of urban
reclamation, protest, and illicit performance.
The first book to present the full historical
sweep, global reach and technical developments of
the street art movement, Trespass features key
works by 150 artists, and connects four generations of visionary outlaws.
