Born In The Streets - Graffiti


The 'Fondation Cartier Pour L'Art Contemporain' presents Born in the Streets - Graffiti, an exhibition that brings to light the extraordinary development of an artistic movement that was born in the streets of New York in the early 1970s.

Today, graffiti has entered the cultural mainstream, crossing over to the realms of studio art, design and advertising. Yet, despite its immense popularity, this essentially illegal activity continues to evolve at the periphery of the contemporary art world, its origins and history little-known to the general public.
