Perhaps the largest exhibition of street art ever attempted, Tour Paris 13 is the culmination of a movement that always strives for new forms of involvement from the viewer. Housed in a now-demolished 1950s-era nine-story apartment block near the Seine, 105 artists of 18 different nationalities created unique works in the interior as well as on the exterior of the building, allowing visitors access for only thirty days. The result was a pure, immersive experience that allowed artists free reign to indulge their creativity in an environment of open-mindedness and without commodification. This beautiful catalogue records the work of such urban art luminaries as A1One, Herbert Baglione, COPE2, Ethos, Peeta, Rea One, Seth, Stinkfish, Swoon, Vexta and Vhils.

Though largely associated with cities and the urban environment, street art is a fluid form, easily capable of crossing boundaries and taking up residence where you least expect it. Always striving to remain vital and relevant, its proponents are always on the search for new and innovative opportunities to showcase its possibilities for renewal. The author found such a venue on the isle of Djerba, off of the coast of Tunisia. With a long history of cooperation, phenomenal architecture, economy of space and nearness to an airport, the village of Erriadh was the logical choice. After obtaining permissions, several zones ended up providing ideal locales for more than one hundred artists from thirty countries to express their individual visions, including: Hendrik ECB Beikirch, Bom.k, Curiot, Inkman, Inti, Jaz, Know Hope, Fintan Magee, Phlegm, ROA, Saner, Stew, Twoone, Sebas Velasco, Wisetwo and Zepha.

This meticulously produced monograph on the prolific French stencil artist C215 collects some of the highlights from more than twenty years spent creating street art around the world. As he professes in the introduction, he only paints for himself and to bring happiness to others, not for advertising or monetary gain. His subjects are often the marginalized in society, such as homeless people, street kids and smokers, but also, animals such as cats and butterflies. He moves freely between austere black and white and a vibrant color palette that positively leaps off the wall and utilizes a variety of canvases, from doors and walls to trains and mailboxes. The gallery of his artwork contained within is conveniently arranged alphabetically by location or subject of the work. Includes one removable sloth stencil.

Volume two is a massive board-bound 10-print set, suitable for display either intact or as frame-worthy stand alone pieces. Bilingual French/English. My political stance on protecting the planet is driven by my concern for the quality of life for future generations. -Shepard Fairey

Decades of struggle for national identity and stability in Chile are the raw materials from which Inti Castro, better known as INTI, creates works massive in both scale and cultural relevance. Born in Chile and now an international sensation, he is a classically trained artist who has been painting in the streets since age thirteen. His first artist monograph showcases larger-than-life paintings that pull iconography from politics, the circus and religion; street art characterized by a clean, fine art style that doesn't compromise the sharp edge of the artist's social commentary and cultural exploration. This global selection surveys INTI's work in Paris, Miami, Oslo, Montral, Istanbul and many other cities across more than twenty countries. Glimpses into the artist's process give readers a sense of the size and intricacy of this seminal work by one of Latin America's most important street artists. Trilingual French/Spanish/English.

A must-have for fans of urban art and rebellion, D*Face: The Monograph features the last decade of work by internationally recognized street artist D*Face in a spectacular slipcased package. Street artist Dean Stockton, A.K.A. D*Face, has been creating stickers, posters, murals and more for over twenty years. Inspired by the work of Shepard Fairey and Jim Phillips, along with the culture of hip hop, punk music, and popular cartoons, D*Face has become an irreplaceable influence in the urban contemporary art scene, and continues to push the limits with his illustrative style. This monograph, with text in both French and English, captures his best work since the 2013 release of One Man and His Dog - the Art of D*Face. Witness the most comprehensive and diverse collection of the man Banksy deems "street-urchin extraordinaire... the sticker king of London."
