Street Art of Sydney’s Inner West
Author Melinda Vassallo
Sydney’s inner west is uniquely rich in street art and has some of the best examples in Australia. This is despite the fact that many landmark pieces have disappeared due to high-density housing construction and increased renovation of buildings.
Street Art of Sydney’s Inner West a pictorial reference book is a celebration of 30 years of street art and the artists who create it.
Meet the artists and their crews in their own words and art.
The book can be found in the Art Gallery NSW, Museum of Sydney, MCA and Museum of Sydney along with major Sydney bookshops such as Dead, Berkelouw Books Newtown + Gleebooks. Also available online at: Fineline Design
