Born out of subversion and vandalism, championed by graffiti icons like Basquiat and Haring, street art was never meant to be institutionalized. Yet in 2009, visionary Tony Goldman transformed a derelict warehouse district into Wynwood Walls, the first open-air museum dedicated to this rebellious discipline.

Street Art Icons: The Story of Wynwood Walls traces fifteen years of history through previously unseen archival material and the personal accounts of legendary artists like Shepard Fairey, Maya Hayuk, and Ron English. Through Martha Cooper's vibrant photography, this book celebrates a space that has become a launching pad for emerging talent and a global benchmark for street art.
