Summary:

In a former shipyard of 8,000 square meters at the ultra-hip NDSM Wharf in Amsterdam, you will find Europe's largest street art museum: STRAAT. Yearly an impressive 200,000 visitors admire their collection of over 180 works by around 170 artists, many of which were specially created for this location. As STRAAT's collection is constantly refreshed and expanded, it's time for a second catalogue featuring only new works by about 80 artists. Divided into chapters by genre-muralism, art and activism, native/nature, abstract graffiti, and installations-and interspersed with essays by experts like Steven P. Harrington, Carlo McCormick, Charlotte Pyatt and Christian Omodeo, this book is a wonderful anthology of the key figures in the contemporary street art scene.

The STRAAT book features artwork by the following artists: AIKO, Alex Face, Beer and Bread, Bisco Smith, Bounce, Bruno Smoky, Buff Monster, Caratoes, Carl KENZ, Carlos Ramirez, Chris Dyer, Clandestinos Art, Collin van der Sluijs, Cornbread, Czee13, Danielle SeeWalker, DavidL, Dilk, DOES, Dulk, Dvate, Ekundayo, ELLE, Erwtje, ESPO, FAKE, Farid Rueda, Galo, Gary Stranger, Guido de Boer, Guitar y Banjo, Hera, Hoxxoh, Hugo Kaagman, Hush, Insane51, Jad El Khoury, Joram Roukes, Joren Joshua, Judith de Leeuw, Kaplan Bunce, Kayla Mahaffey, Luca Ledda, Mark Gmehling, Michelle Hoogveld, Mick La Rock, Millo, Milu Correch, Nasca Uno, Nase Pop, Nespoon, Nils Westerdard, Nina Valkhoff, Ottograph, Ox Alien, Pref, Remi Rough, Roids, Said Dokins, Said Kinos, Shepard Fairey, Shoe, Sipros, Snik, Sobekcis, Sr. Papá Chango, Studio Toxic, Super A, Taquen, Tellas, The London Police, The Lost Object, Treze, Tymon de Laat, Wasted Rita, WERC, Wild Drawing (WD), YorkOne, Young Jarus and Zurik.
