Resumen de Derwanz, H., 2013. Street Artists.: Careers on the Art and Design Markets
In her book “Street Artists. Careers on the Art and Design Markets” Heike Derwanz traces back the careers of three different street artists: Banksy, Shepard Fairey and No Logo/Jens Besser. She addresses questions of self-professionalization and conceptualizes street art as both an art historical and social phenomenon. She asks: How do careers of street artists evolve and under which circumstances are they successful? By outlining a transnational network of the so called ‘street art world’ she finally discusses the phenomenon on the basis of four different social spaces: the street, the media, and the art and design market.
