Description: What is behind the tidal wave of street art that is sweeping through the cultural scene today?  What are its artistic features, its codes, and its language?  How has its production, which was originally exclusively centered in the urban space, invaded galleries, bringing with it real popularity for some artists?  These are some of the questions that Magda Danysz, a gallery owner and recognized expert on street art, answers with an easily comprehensible and entertaining style in this unique, richly illustrated anthology, interspersed with the portraits of the big international names.
