Born in the Streets – Graffiti opening today in at Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain explores the phenomenon that emerged in New York in the early 1970s and rapidly spread across the globe. The exhibition pays tribute to the pioneers along with Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat and presents some of the most brilliant figures on the contemporary scene including Evan Roth and Barry McGee, reflecting the history and diversity of the movement.
Incidentally, X-COLOR/Graffiti in Japan staged in 2005 at the Art Tower Mito, surveyed the movement in its Japanese rendition.
