ProQuest Historical Newspaper Citation and Annotation on Graffiti

Rees, Jasper. “Street Art Below the Street and Out of Reach.” New York Times 01 Nov. 2010: C1. ProQuest Historical Newspapers. Web. 15 March 2014. The author, Rees, explores a New York City underground art exhibition of large graffiti murals on walls done by graffiti artists. Such an approach was chosen because the artists were solely interested in people seeing their talent, not to gain revenue from their art. To them graffiti is not street art it is simply art and should not be used for the purpose of capital. Rees believe that the art exhibit didn't get much recognition even though the pieces were inspiring because it was put on illegally and this idea diminishes the concept that street art should be equally admired as graffiti in galleries and museums.
