Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neu -Die großen Namen der Street und Urban Art finden in diesem opulenten Überblicksband zusammen. Hier trifft Pop-Art-Größe Keith Haring auf den Reichstagsverhüller Christo. Street-Art-Legende Banksy steht mit Polka-Dot-Ikone Yayoi Kusama im Rampenlicht. Ein Muss für alle Urban-Art-Fans, die hier auch ablesen können, welch unterschiedliche Strömungen die vielleicht populärste Bewegung der Kunst umfasst! Schätze der Urban Art treten in ungesehener Dichte ins Licht: Zusammengetragen wurden sie seit Ende der 90er-Jahre im Museum of Urban and Contemporary Art (MUCA) in München, einer der bedeutendsten Sammlungen ihrer Art weltweit. Aus Newcomern wurden Größen der Kunstszene, die die urbane Landschaft als Teil ihrer Praxis nutzen. In diesem Band werden wegweisende Werke von Künstler:innen bildgewaltig und umfassend gezeigt. Sie sprechen Betrachtende direkt an, indem sie oft Teil der Werke werden - etwa durch die Diskurse über Banksys spektakuläre Aktionskunst oder das buchstäbliche Eintreten in die optischen Täuschungen JRs. Das Buch versammelt die diversen Stilrichtungen der Urban Art und lässt so ein vollständiges Panorama entstehen. Wir feiern damit ein Vierteljahrhundert der MUCA Story. 264 pp. Deutsch.…
