You mean apart from the fact that approx 25 of the hundred most important people in street art are galleries and auction houses?
and apart from the fact that it doesn't mention Keith Haring or John Fekner?
And apart from the fact that every piece of text is exactly the same?
other than that it's great, yeah!

The bible. A graffiti book (not street art) but the one that started it all. It's the one to start with for sure.

Tristan Manco's "Street Sketchbook" is also one of the best.

I have both the Futura & Delta books signed too. Really like both but the Futura book really opened my eyes to the life/person behind the art.
Old pic of the Futura bought in 2001.

You'd need to buy a few to get free shipping but it's still a great deal for a limited edition book with cd.

It's a book of interviews so it would be a little difficult to interview haring. And it does tip its hat to "urban art" as well, much as I hate that term and that means that there are gallerists and auction houses interviewed. But the range of artists interviewed and mentioned is far wider than most books out there.
Puzzled by the comment that every piece of text is the same as well remi? I found the artists interviews to be excellent reads and all very different.

There's a reason they are not in there though, no need to explain why, those little bubbles they live in are fractious enough as it is.

It's actually disappointment. I don't have anything to be bitter about actually mate. beyond anything I'm not even a street artist, but John Fekner is and should have been in that book! He is probably the most important artist in the entire 'street art' movement... yet oft forgotten and even unknown to many people who know nothing more than how to flip a print. And having a quarter of the 100 as galleries who'd only been operating for a couple of years and auction houses, quite frankly is sad and probably led by people protecting their investments over actually progressing a scene.
Don't confuse bitterness with disappointment.

I wonder if you have an inkling of the blood sweat and tears, let alone abject frustration that went into attempting to catalogue a snapshot of the 'scene' as it was.
Maybe you should get your notebook out and start making a better attempt if you think that wasn't good enough for you. You sure sound as if you have a few ideas to improve upon what's already out there.
Or do you not have the stomach to see through such a massive and frustrating undertaking?

Thanks for mentioning John Fekner, after looking him up I am very interested in seeing more.
Remind you of anyone?

You statement should really read the other way around as Fekner's was one of the early pioneers of the 'street art' movement in the late 60's and as Remi has already pointed out (not for the first time) it's a bit of an oversight that he was missed from the book in the first place.
