Graffiti - is it art or can it be removed?

Graffiti, tags, throw-ups, blockbusters, wildstyles - the variety of terms is as colorful as the handwriting of the artists. With Graffiti School, the ultimate overview of all questions surrounding the art of the spray can is now available. Even though opinions on whether it is artistic or rather criminal often differ, the market has long since made its decision, valuing the works of activists like Banksy or Blek le Rat as highly as those of other contemporary artists.

Graffiti School provides, in this discourse, not only a brief overview of the beginnings of graffiti art but also a wealth of practical instructions and fundamental knowledge: from the composition, handling, and maintenance of graffiti equipment to illustrated step-by-step guides for design elements and techniques. Numerous visual examples of graffiti from around the world complement this manual. The author Christoph "Jeroo" Ganter draws on his own experience as a graffiti artist.
