Vienna Murals - Street Art Guide Vienna - THE BOOK

PDF-Preview: CLICK HERE!

Vienna is transforming fast and positioning itself as one of the most interesting cities for street art in Europe.
Renowned graffiti painters no longer pass around the Austrian capital, they leave their artworks here visible for everybody walking the 23 districts.
Murals have been around forever, but in the past couple of years street artists have more and more begun to work on
large scale surfaces, often with permission and with the help of ladders, cranes and lifts. The results are artworks in heights barely reached before and the freedom to take more time to finish which leads to detailed artworks that interact
with architecture and given structures.
In Vienna this phenomenon is now well-established too, thanks to the many initiatives, galleries, agencies and curators that make our downtown spaces more vibrant, colourful and beautiful.
Vienna is full of artworks both from local and international artists, counts with plenty of legal space to paint on and local governments also support this art form more and more.
There exist lots of different manifestations of public art and street art but this guide focuses on murals as there is an
incredible dynamic in this art form in Vienna at the moment and we’d like to make this dynamic visible for you.
This guide’s ambition is neither to be complete nor finished, it is rather a documentation of some picked artworks as found in early summer of 2017, that we think you should take a closer look onto when walking the streets of this city.

Every mural featured in this guide is numbered and counts with artist and curator info, the year of painting (if known),
as well as the location address and a marker on a map.

A book, not only for street art aficionados - but for all those who would like to get to know a young and modern Vienna off the tourist tracks.

The guide's intention is to draw attention to the works of the featured artists, as well as to Vienna's street art scene, to make our city even more colourful.
It focuses on the artists and their works, as well as onto all those, that helped with the realisation of these artworks.

Photography, research, production, layout, design - all of it was self made with lots of passion.
