Street Art Icons: The Story of Wynwood Walls book by Assouline
Description
As a creative genre rooted in subversion and vandalism, embodied by graffiti iconoclasts such as Basquiat and Haring, and by political protests and revolutions, it took a visionary to have the foresight to monumentalize the street art movement in a museum. That is where real estate developer Tony Goldman comes in, who created Wynwood Walls in 2009, transforming a dilapidated area of warehouse buildings in Miami's Wynwood neighborhood into what is now recognized not only as one of the most successful urban renewal stories in the United States, but also as the world's first major exhibition center—and undoubtedly still the most important—dedicated to international street art.
In Street Art Icons: The Story of Wynwood Walls, readers will discover not only a book documenting fifteen years of this iconic institution, but also a book about art itself, a comprehensive tribute to the discipline, essential for both street art enthusiasts and casual art lovers.
With previously unpublished photographs tracing the development of the walls and special commentary from iconic street art figures such as Shepard Fairey, Maya Hayuk, Kenny Scharf, Ron English, and curator Jessica Goldman Srebnick, this work effectively illustrates why and how Wynwood Walls became a phenomenon. Today, this venue is recognized as a crucial milestone in artists' careers, capable of propelling both unknowns and veterans. The pages, filled with striking images by renowned documentary photographer Martha Cooper—who has captured more than 150 murals and artworks created over the past fifteen years (what curator Jeffrey Deitch calls "vivid visual images")—make this work a vibrant technicolor tribute to the genre, as well as a tribute to the world's most iconic street art destination, inspiring millions of visitors to explore their own creativity.
"Legacy is the mark we leave on the world. A legacy can be created in unexpected and improbable ways, even with something as simple as a spray can and a bold idea," says Jessica Goldman Srebnick, chief curator of Wynwood Walls and daughter of founder Tony Goldman. "My father imagined a one-of-a-kind neighborhood that looked like a masterpiece." With Street Art Icons, Assouline invites you to discover something far more than the heart of a neighborhood or a city: it is the heart of a movement that Wynwood Walls has amplified immeasurably and, perhaps, canonized.
