<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Enjoy this stunning limited edition, including an exclusive 8 x 10 inches digital print signed by Shepard Fairey! <i>Artists covered the interior walls with their latest, most ambitious efforts, transforming a casual auld-lang-syne get-together into a state-of-the-art statement that ranged from classic tagging to new adventures in papering, printing, varnishing, installation and, in one impressive instance, crayon. There were lines around the block.</i> <p/> --Roberta Smith, <i>The New York Times</i> <p/> In December of 2006, an unlikely group of nearly 100 street artists from all over the world came together to participate in an art show celebrating Eleven Spring Street, long a premiere destination on the international Street Art map. <i>The New York Times</i> wrote, One of the best shows of the season flamed past just before Christmas: a weekend long display of graffiti created by artists from around the world at, and in honor of, 11 Spring Street. The methodology was mixed media to the max: Wheat paste, paper, spray paint, house paint, markers, metal objects, found objects...the result was chaotic yet undeniably arresting. Marc and Sara Schiller of the Wooster Collective curated the three-day event, calling the show <i>Wooster on Spring</i>. It featured street art superstars like Shepard Fairey and Swoon as well as emergent talents including JR, Prune, and Doze Green. <p/> The result was a potent mix of artists who brought the street inside by re-claiming the walls for themselves, and a tipping point for what has become an international art world phenomenon. The three-day public viewing session was a landmark downtown event that drew crowds in the thousands, with people waiting up to five hours to get inside. <p/> With an Introduction by Shepard Fairey, an Afterword by JR, and an essay from Randy Kennedy of <i>The New York Times</i>, <i>Eleven Spring</i> captures an important moment in Street Art's history. All the works that were created for the show were subsequently covered up or destroyed by renovation. <i>Eleven Spring</i> allows these vibrant works to live again, ready for a new generation of admirers to enjoy and celebrate.
