| ‘The beauty, skill and imagination that spills from each page makes you wonder how such work could ever be classified alongside the kind of mindless vandalism you see in your average toilet block’ | | – TNT Magazine |
| '… brilliantly charts the developments and trends of what has now become a truly global phenomenon' | | – Computer Arts |
‘Likely to become staple reference material for anyone involved in creating graffiti …
an absolute treat … I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the visual arts’ | | – The Art Book |
GRAFFITI WORLD is the ultimate graffiti book offering a unique insight into the very essence of graffiti and its creative explosion in almost every corner of the globe.
With over 2,000 pictures from more than 180 international artists, no other book is so comprehensive. Nicholas Ganz combines his own first-hand experiences with quotes from the artists themselves to offer a true insider’s perspective to the key trends and style developments that have made graffiti what it is today: a global phenomenon.
Nicholas Ganz, aka keinom, is a graffiti artist who has travelled worldwide to gather material for this book. Graffiti World is edited by Tristan Manco, a graphic artist in the music and television industries and director of Bristol-based Tijuana Design. He is the author of Stencil Graffiti, the best-selling guide to stencilled graffiti worldwide. His latest book is Street Sketchbook. Both are published by Thames & Hudson (London and New York).
