The book Devandalized pays homage to decades of street art, primarily in and around New York City. The author/artist's use of assemblage as an artistic form and medium has combined the famous and infamous to create an art form larger than the sum of its parts.

Street art is undoubtedly the world's most globally accessible genre of contemporary art. New York has produced influential graffiti and street artists over the decades. Graffiti and street art can be controversial, but they can also be a medium for voices of social change, protest, or expressions of community desire.

Some artists have taken this concept to the streets. They make eye-catching stickers of different sizes and post them out on the streets to the trees, lampposts, walls, and benches. While some stickers can be removed easily, others are meant to stay for a long time.

Street art is embedded in the DNA of our streets, and this contemporary art is becoming the most influential movements we've ever seen.

Urban and street art have seen an unprecedented rise in popularity. Street art is regarded as one of the largest art movements that has achieved huge popularity and is still rapidly growing as an art form.
