'''Street art''' is [[visual art]] created in [[public art|public locations]] for public visibility. It has been associated with the terms "independent art", "post-graffiti", "neo-graffiti" and [[guerrilla art]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Brooks |first=Raillan |date=2013-12-06 |title=Aerosol Art|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/08/books/review/city-as-canvas-and-the-world-atlas-of-street-art-and-graffiti.html |access-date=2022-10-16|archive-date=27 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201127200809/https://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/08/books/review/city-as-canvas-and-the-world-atlas-of-street-art-and-graffiti.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
Street art has evolved from the early forms of defiant [[graffiti]] into a more commercial form of art, as one of the main differences now lies with the messaging. Street art is often meant to provoke thought rather than rejection among the general audience through making its purpose more evident than that of graffiti. The issue of permission has also come at the heart of street art, as graffiti is usually done illegally, whereas street art can nowadays be the product of an agreement or even sometimes a commission. However, it remains different from traditional art exposed in public spaces by its explicit use of said space in the conception phase.

==Background==
[[File:Berlinermauer.jpg|thumb|Germany's [[Berlin Wall]] (shown 1986) was a target of artists during its existence (1961–1989).]]
Street art is a form of artwork that is displayed in public on surrounding buildings, on streets, trains and other publicly viewed surfaces. Many instances come in the form of guerrilla art, which is intended to make a personal statement about the society that the artist lives within. The work has moved from the beginnings of graffiti and vandalism to new modes where artists work to bring messages, or just beauty, to an audience.<ref name=Antonova2014>Antonova, Maria. 2014.

Some artists may use "smart vandalism" as a way to raise awareness of social and political issues,<ref>{{cite web|title=Student art project is vandalism for a cause |url=http://www.whas11.com/news/local/Student-art-project-is-vandalism-for-a-cause-86760522.html |work=The Herald-Times |access-date=4 April 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120320000018/http://www.whas11.com/news/local/Student-art-project-is-vandalism-for-a-cause-86760522.html |archive-date=20 March 2012 |df=dmy }}</ref> whereas other artists use urban space as an opportunity to display personal artwork.
Whereas traditional [[graffiti]] artists have primarily used [[aerosol paint|spray paint]] to produce their work, "street art" can encompass other media, such as [[LED art]], [[mosaic]] tiling, [[stencil graffiti
New media forms such as video projections onto large city buildings are an increasingly popular tool for street artists—and the availability of cheap hardware and software allows such artwork to become competitive with corporate advertisements. Artists are thus able to create art from their personal computers for free, which competes with companies' profits.<ref>Geek Graffiti: A Study in Computation, Gesture and Graffiti Analysis</ref>

Slogans of protest and political or social commentary graffiti on walls are the precursor to modern graffiti and street art, and continue as one aspect of the genre. Street art in the form of text or simple iconic graphics of corporate icons can become well-known yet enigmatic symbols of an area or an era.<ref name="Village Voice Mott"/> Some credit the ''[[Kilroy Was Here]]'' graffiti of the World War II era as one such early example; a simple line-drawing of a long-nosed man peering from behind a ledge. Author [[Charles Panati]] indirectly touched upon the general appeal of street art in his description of the "Kilroy" graffiti as "outrageous not for what it said, but where it turned up".<ref name="Kilroy"/> Much of what can now be defined as modern street art has well-documented origins dating from [[New York City]]'s [[Graffiti in the United States|graffiti boom]], with its infancy in the 1960s, maturation in the 1970s, and peaking with the [[spray paint art|spray-painted]] full-car subway train murals of the 1980s centered in [[the Bronx]].
As the 1980s progressed, a shift occurred from text-based works of early in the decade to visually conceptual street art such as [[Richard Hambleton|Hambleton]]'s shadow figures.<ref>Robinson, David (1990) ''Soho Walls – Beyond Graffiti'', Thames & Hudson,

Some street artists have earned international attention for their work and have made a full transition from street art into the mainstream art
Street art has received artistic recognition with the high-profile status of [[Banksy]] and other artists. This has led street art to become one of the 'sights to see' in many European cities. Some artists now provide tours of local street art and can share their knowledge, explaining the ideas behind many works, the reasons for tagging, and the messages portrayed in a lot of graffiti work.
Line 53 ⟶ 66:
===Legality and ethics===
Street art can have legal problems. The parties involved can include the artist, the city or municipal government, the intended recipient and the owner of the structure or the medium where the work was displayed. One example is a case in 2014 in Bristol, England, which illustrates the legal, moral and ethical questions that can occur. The ''Mobile Lovers'' by [[Banksy]] was painted on plywood on a public doorway, then cut out by a citizen who in turn was going to sell the piece to garner funds for a boys' club. The city government in turn confiscated the artwork and placed it in a museum. Banksy, hearing of the conundrum, then bequeathed it to the original citizen, thinking his intentions were genuine. In this case, as in others, the controversy of ownership and public property, as well as the issues of trespassing and vandalism, are issues to be resolved legally.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Salib|first=Peter|date=Fall 2015|title=The Law of Banksy: Who Owns Street Art?|journal=University of Chicago Law Review|volume=
===Copyright===
Under United States law, works of street art should be able to find copyright protection as long as they are legally installed and can fulfil two additional conditions; originality in the work, and that it is fixed in a tangible medium.<ref>17 U.S.C. § 102</ref> This copyright would then survive for the lifespan of the artist plus 70 years.<ref>17 U.S. Code § 302</ref> In case there is a collaboration between two artists, both would hold joint ownership in the copyright.<ref>17 U.S. Code § 201</ref> Street artists also hold [[moral rights]] in their work, independent of economic rights arising from copyright. These include the right to integrity and the right to attribution.<ref>"moral, adj.". OED Online. September 2011. Oxford University Press. 25 October 2011.</ref> Recently, street art has started to gain recognition among art critics, and some major companies have found themselves in trouble for using this art without permission for advertising. In such a case, [[H&M]], a [[fast fashion]] retailer used street art by Jason "Revok" Williams in an advertisement series.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Voon |first=Claire |date=2018-03-15 |title=H&M Lawsuit Against Street Artist Could Change Copyright Law |url=http://hyperallergic.com/432709/hm-lawsuit-street-artist-revok-copyright-law/ |access-date=2022-10-16 |website=Hyperallergic |language=en-US |archive-date=6 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221006233344/https://hyperallergic.com/432709/hm-lawsuit-street-artist-revok-copyright-law/ |url-status=live }}</ref> In response to Williams' '[[Cease and Desist]]' notice, however, H&M filed a lawsuit, alleging that since the work is a "product of criminal conduct", it cannot be protected by copyright. This view has been taken earlier too, in the cases of ''Villa v. Pearson Education''<ref>Villa, 2003 WL 22922178{{full citation needed|date=July 2024}}</ref> and [[Moschino]] and Jeremy Tierney.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.thefashionlaw.com/home/graffiti-cannot-be-copyright-protected-claims-moschino-jeremy-scott|url-status=dead|title=Graffiti Cannot be Copyright Protected, Claims Moschino|author=Jeremy Scott|date=20 April 2016|magazine=The Fashion Law|access-date=29 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190301074553/http://www.thefashionlaw.com/home/graffiti-cannot-be-copyright-protected-claims-moschino-jeremy-scott|archive-date=1 March 2019}}</ref> In all three cases, before the judge could make a ruling on the issue of the illegality of the art, settlements were reached.<ref name=HHRArtLaw /> These companies typically settle out of court to avoid costly, time-consuming litigation.
When it comes to the question of the destruction of street art, the United States has applied the [[Visual Artists Rights Act|Visual Artists Right Act (VARA)]]<ref>17 U.S.C. § 106A</ref> to introduce moral rights into copyright law. In ''English v. BFC & R East 11th Street LLC'' and ''Pollara v. Seymour'', it was held that this Act was inapplicable to works of art placed illicitly. A distinction was also made between the removable and
In a case where a group of artists was awarded $6.7 million, the judge held that the art was not made without permission of the owner of the building, and that an important factor was that the demolition was done ahead of the intended date, indicating willful thought.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Finn |first=Robin |date=2011-08-27 |title=Writing's on the Wall (Art Is, Too, for Now)
==Street art, guerrilla art and graffiti==
Line 70 ⟶ 81:
While both of these types of art have many differences, there are more similarities than their origins. Both graffiti and street art are works of art that are created with the same intent. Most artists, whether they are working anonymously, creating an intentionally incomprehensible message, or fighting for some greater cause are working with the same ambitions for popularity, recognition and the public display or outpouring of their personal thoughts, feelings and passions.<ref name=Bloch2015/>
The term street art is described in many different ways, one of which is the term "guerrilla art". Both terms describe these public works that are placed with meaning and intent. They can be done anonymously for works that are created to confront taboo issues that will result in a backlash, or under the name of a well-known artist. With any terminology, these works of art are created as a primary way to express the artist's thoughts on many topics and issues.<ref name=Campos2015>Campos, Ricardo. 2015. "Youth, Graffiti, and the Aestheticization of Transgression
As with graffiti, an initial trait or feature of street art is that it is often created on or in a public area without or against the permission of the owner.<ref name=Bacharach2015/> A main distinction between the two comes in the second trait of street art or guerrilla art, where it is made to represent and display a purposefully uncompliant act that is meant to challenge its surrounding environment.<ref name=Bacharach2015/> This challenge can be granular, focusing on issues within the community or broadly sweeping, addressing global issues on a public stage.
Line 76 ⟶ 87:
This is how the term "guerrilla art" was associated with this type of work and behavior. The word ties back to guerrilla warfare in history where attacks are made wildly, without control and with no rules of engagement. This type of warfare was dramatically different from the previously formal and traditional fighting that went on in wars normally. When used in the context of street art, the term guerilla art is meant to give a nod to the artist's uncontrolled, unexpected and often unnamed attack on societal structure or norms.<ref name="Sisko2015"/>
Some have asked if it is sufficient to place art in the street to make street art; Nicholas Riggle looks more critically at the border between graffiti and street art and states
=== Guerilla sculpture ===
Line 84 ⟶ 95:
An example is the overnight appearance of an unsanctioned sculpture of [[Edward Snowden]] onto a column in [[Fort Greene Park]] in New York City.<ref name="Sisko2015">{{Cite journal|last=Sisko|date=Summer 2015|title=Guerilla Sculpture: Free Speech and Dissent|journal=Sculpture Review|volume= 64|issue= 2|pages=26–35}}</ref> In other cases, the sculptures integrate two-dimensional backdrops with a three-dimensional component, such as one by Banksy titled ''[[Spy Booth]]'' (2014). The backdrop was painted on a wall in Cheltenham, England and featured [[Cold War|Cold-War]] spy characters adorned in trench coats and fedoras, with spy accoutrements, microphones and reel-to-reel tape decks. These characters appeared to be [[Phone tap|tapping into]] a broken telephone booth.<ref name="Sisko2015"/>
On 15 July 2020, a month after the statue of [[Edward Colston]] was pulled down during [[Black Lives Matter]] protests in [[Bristol]], artist [[Marc Quinn]] used the empty plinth to display his sculpture ''[[A Surge of Power (Jen Reid) 2020|A Surge of Power (Jen Reid)]]''. The life-sized piece, created from black resin and steel,<ref>{{Cite
A deviation from the unsanctioned street sculpture is "institutionalized guerilla sculpture", which is sanctioned by civic authorities and can be commercialized. One such artist from the Netherlands is [[Florentijn Hofman]], who in 2007 created ''[[Rubber Duck (sculpture)|Rubber Duck]]'', a colossal rendition of the childhood tub-toy.

==Public acceptance==
Although street art may be ubiquitous around the world, the popularity of its artistic expression is relatively recent. Street art has undergone a major transformation in public opinion to become socially accepted and respected in some public places.<ref name="Bacharach2015">{{Cite journal |last=Bacharach |first=Sondra |date=4 January 2016 |title=Street Art and Consent |url=https://academic.oup.com/bjaesthetics/article/55/4/481/2195110?searchresult=1 |journal=British Journal of Aesthetics |volume=55 |issue=4 |pages=481–495 |doi=10.1093/aesthj/ayv030 |doi-access=free |access-date=22 January 2022 |archive-date=22 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220122161247/https://academic.oup.com/bjaesthetics/article/55/4/481/2195110?searchresult=1 |url-status=live }}</ref>
In the beginning, graffiti was the only form of street art that there was and it was widely considered to be a delinquent act of territorial marking and crude messaging. Initially, there were very clear divisions between the work of a street artist and the act of tagging a public or private property, but in recent years where the artists are treading the line between the two, this line has become increasingly blurred.<ref name=Bacharach2015 />
Perhaps contrary to earlier anti-museum and ticket sale sentiments of some street artists; a dedicated exhibition to Street Art under the title 'Urban' opened in [[Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery|Peterborough Museum]], United Kingdom, on the 11th December 2021. With tickets for the preview evening selling at £5 GDP and subsequent entry being charged at £8 per person.

Art created in conjunction with the [[Living Walls (conference)|Living Walls]] street art conference, which Atlanta hosts annually, was spared.

==== Mexico ====
The manifestations of street art in Mexico began in the late 80s in Mexico City, inside multifamily buildings in the north of the city and also in the subway. Since then, urban art and graffiti have formed an essential part of cultural identity in the different city halls of the metropolis.
Currently, some different associations and groups are dedicated to the creation and search of spaces for urban art in Mexico City and throughout the country. Even several artists, both national and foreign or emerging and consolidated, have taken their art to the Latin American country.

[[Buenos Aires]] has developed a reputation for its large scale murals and artworks in many subway stations and public spaces. The first graffiti artists started painting in the street in the Argentine capital in the mid-1990s after visiting other countries in Europe and South America. One of the first recognized street artists in Argentina is Alfredo Segatori, nicknamed 'Pelado', who began painting in 1994 and holds the record for the largest mural in Argentina<ref>{{cite web|title = Colorful mural might be world's longest
An abundance of buildings slated for demolition provides blank canvases to a multitude of artists, and the authorities cannot keep up with removing artists' output. "Population density" and "urban anxiety" are common motifs expressed by "Grafiteiros" in their street art and ''[[pichação]]'', rune-like black graffiti, said to convey feelings of class conflict.

====India====
In [[India]], street art is hugely popular. Many of the film and TV series promotional materials were created by street painters/artists. Currently, digital art is replacing hand painted posters. From 1960 to the 1990s, the street posters worked well and impressed audiences. In the 1990s the hand painted posters started to be replaced by flex banners outside theatres. After the 2000s, the popularity of street posters started to decline, being replaced by digitally printed posters.
