Street art is a movement that grew out of the graffiti explosion in New York in the 1970s. Since then, street art has evolved from primarily textual graffiti in public spaces to a conceptual visual art encompassing many forms and techniques. Street artists create primarily in public spaces, often illegally and with a view to rebelling against the status quo. Artists often created socially engaged street art that denounced political or social situations. For this reason, tags and street art in general were long seen as pure vandalism. Over time, however, this view has evolved and street art has become increasingly accepted by the art world. Many street artists have made the transition and exhibit their street art works in museums and galleries. Street painting is now a highly appreciated and admired movement because of the freedom it celebrates and the immense creativity it exhibits. Famous street artists like Shepard Fairey exhibit all over the world and are in high demand among collectors.
