The earliest form of street art developed a century ago, as murals in Latin America. Today graffiti, sculpture, and performance have also been integrated into metropolitan life across the globe. In The World Atlas of Street Art and Graffiti, Rafael Schacter curates the street art tradition, following those who use buildings as canvass and turn cities into galleries. These artists have redrawn their environments in both bold and subtle ways.
