Kings Way The Beginnings of Australian Graffiti Melbourne 1983-93
$450
A hardcover book, in very good condition. Published by Miegunyah Press in 2009.
In a barrage of blinding colour, cryptic words and bombed out train carriages, Kings Way tells the story of Melbourne’s emerging underground writing scene and the youth integral to it. Using the city’s walls and trains as their ephemeral canvas, these writers pioneered the elaborate spray painted artworks that continue to dominate Melbourne’s cityscape. With more than 1200 full colour images, part visual encyclopedia, part social history.
