graffiti:tags to riches on tv tonight, by fingerz on Dec 14, 2010 19:30:29 GMT 1, on sky arts1 tonight 11:30 pm
You're on the train and you whizz past a wall of scrawl, but is it vandalism or art?
Well that's one of the discussions in this documentary which looks at how graffiti has gone from the subways to Sothebys.
Now that Banksy has raised the profile of what used to be seen as a nuisance, will graffiti finally be recognised as a credible art form?
The scene has moved on from simple tagging and now complex installations using a variety of techniques are now being deployed.
Life long fan and graffiti artist Goldie explores what motivates and inspires some of the key players including interviews with Xenz, Sickboy and the acclaimed Cyclops.
On the other side of the coin are the council members who spend thousands of tax payers money removing the markings of the graffitist, but the question remains whether it is given more kudos in a art gallery.
