Dear Pennies & Pens,
An amazing new book has just hit the art scene. Schiffer Publishing just released Miami Graffiti Art by H. Love. Miami Graffiti Art is a curated collection of the best Graffiti Art in Miami. In this book, you’ll discover South Florida’s graffiti art history throughout its various stages, dating from its classic works of the 1980s to the present influence of graffiti art at the annual Art Basel Festival.
Miami Graffiti Art features 310 full-color images of works by V05, DFC Crew, 7 UP Crew, the Ink Heads, and many more. Each image is accompanied by key caption information, making this an image archive that serves as a comprehensive catalog of Miami’s greatest graffiti art. It is the ideal reference for all graffiti artists and fans of the medium.
I loved flipping through the pages of this book. It doesn’t feature much text giving you time to focus on the beautiful images. The book is also printed on paper that makes the images pop. I truly enjoyed the book and I would highly recommend it. I have always loved Graffiti and every time I see it, I wonder about the artist who painted it. While some see Graffiti as cheap street art, I see it as a moving art gallery that you can see anywhere at anytime.
I’ve been to Miami several times, and next time I go, I hope I can check out some of these works in person. Until then, I’ll just have to settle for browsing the pages of this prolific book. For more info on the book, check out Schiffer Publishing’s website: www.schifferbooks.com.
