"Activism and street art have been fellow travelers for ages and as it turns out the concerns of environmentalists are particularly well suited for direct visual actions in the streets. A sequel to the bestselling Street Art in the Time of Corona, Street Art for the Planet collects the work of activist street artists including Blu, Pejac, Elle, OSCH, RNST, Wrdsmith, ROA, and Banksy alongside the work of eco street art pioneers from the 1960s to the present. Major themes addressed by the artists include: global warming, loss of habitat, green movements crushed by oppressive states, rising sea levels, displaced communities and climate refugees, air pollution, petroleum addiction, effects of drought, corporate greenwash and more. This grabby little book makes a strong case that street art is the most effective art form for highlighting the threats faced by our fragile planet."--Provided by publisher.

Comprising more than two hundred photos taken over thecourse of three weeks, the third book in the Still Lifes seriesleaves the United States for the busy streets of Tokyo, resultingin a volume that is both of a piece with and dramatically differentfrom Still Lifes: California and Still Lifes: USA. The roughly translated advertising blurb for the Tokyo hotel where Rudy VanderLans booked his stay promised "a world of stillness and motion,¿ and VanderLans used this as his creative prompt.Over the course of his stay, VanderLans walked over a hundredmiles, camera in hand, capturing an extensive document ofTokyo's lived-in details. Just as much care has been taken in thearrangement of the photos, with adjacent images often mirroringone another despite their wildly different subjects. Conspicuouslydevoid of human figures for such a populous city, these photos capture a Tokyo beneath the surface of the crowd, presentinga version of the city rarely seen in media of any kind.

Keith Haring's brilliantly instant paintings and images are some of the most recognizable of any artist, ever. Out of all the artists that emerged from the New York graffiti scene in the late '70s and 80s, it's Haring who has had the greatest pop impact. Today his work has acquired extra relevance - Haring was an early and very vocal exponent of diversity who fought all forms of prejudice through his art. He was, and remains, universally loved. In this sparky new look at Haring's life, we get to really know the Haring behind the iconography: where he grew up, the places in NYC he loved to hang out, his art on the New York subway, the artists he partied with, his battles for the LGBQT community and his moving campaigns against the prejudice surrounding HIV/AIDS, from which he tragically died aged just 31.
