Shepaird Fairey Murals at Art Basel

 

In the weeks leading up to Art Basel, which is currently running this weekend in Miami Beach, Florida, Shepard Fairey put up two beautiful murals, which was first spotted over at Street Art News. During "the most prestigious art show in the Americas," more than 260 leading galleries from North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa will take part in Art Basel's festivities, showcasing works by more than 2,000 artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.
In the piece above, Fairey adds his classic patterns and imagery in collaboration with artist RISK's colorful background to create this beautiful mural. If you're in Miami, you can see it at 1326 NE 1st Ave, Miami.
Prior to creating this piece, Fairey put up another mural in Miami as a tribute to Tony Goldman, the New York real-estate visionary and art benefactor who was a driving force behind the revitalization of New York’s Soho neighborhood, Miami Beach’s Art Deco District, and Wynwood and the Design District in Miami. “He was such a great ambassador for art,” Fairey says of the man who gave his career a boost when he commissioned a mural at Houston Street and the Bowery in New York. “Tony was so nice to me, so supportive.”

5 Pointz to be Torn Down in 2013

 

The 5 Pointz graffiti warehouse is likely to be demolished by September 2013 and replaced by two apartment buildings if the property owner’s plans are approved.

The development will include walls that graffiti artists can use to display their art and there will be a small number of artist studios.

The Wolkoff family has owned the property for decades and has allowed local artists to use the warehouse to display their work for years.

However, the developer believes that Jackson Avenue has undergone a great deal of change in the past 10 years and that now is the appropriate time to pursue residential development.

 So even though all of the art will be brought down into a huge pile of rocks, the new building will feature walls for people to display there talents.

Maybe a piece of this building will be as valuable as some of the Berlin Wall.

MadC - Layers Graffiti Exhibition

 

The famous female graffiti artist Claudia Walde, AKA MadC, has opened her solo-exhibition at 44309 Gallery in Dortmund, Germany! Entitled Layers, the show presents new works made using spray paint, transparent spray paint, ink, watercolor and acrylic paint.

"Her letters flow into each other and parts of one letter borrow parts of another. Everything is connected; one part can‘t be without the other. Thus, her work is a reflection of our modern life where everything and everyone is connected through the Internet, cell phones, social networks and the media. The graffiti community has long used all those channels to stay connected for decades.
For her canvases she is using the same philosophy of connecting single parts. To create those works, MadC is using spray paint, transparent spray paint, ink, watercolour, acrylic paint and acrylic markers. She is painting on canvas as well as carton from spray paint boxes.
Claudia‘s passion for fonts and street art is also visible in her published work. In 2011, her second book „Street Fonts“ was published by Thames & Hudson and various other publishers in 5 languages worldwide. The book shows over 150 alphabets by graffiti and street artists form around the globe.
Since 1996, when MadC painted her first wall, she was invited to and has visited more than 35 countries including Sweden, France, USA, United Kingdom, Lebanon, South Africa, Bolivia, Hawaii, Colombia, Mexico, Spain, Norway, Poland, Russia and many more."
