Stickers includes around 4,000 stickers from the explosive and dynamic world of street art, DIY culture, music and branding. Cheap, democratic, easy to “tag” and not always quick to fade, the sticker has been a ubiquitous medium, from the underground punk scene of New York and London to skate culture and political expression.

 

Celebrating the graphic design of this street-art medium, Stickers illustrates the chronology of this hobby, from counterculture to politics. Stickers includes approximately 4,000 sticker graphics organized by categories and themes, featuring works by artists as diverse as Raymond Pettibon and Jenny Holzer; street artists such as Banksy, Neck Face and Barry McGee; and amateur artists who “tag” the streets anonymously.

 

With texts by artists and writers including Swoon, Stanley Donwood, ESPO, Clayton Patterson, Carlo McCormick and Michael Betancourt, Stickers illustrates not only the visual and social history of sticker art, but also the personal relationship that street artists and pedestrians maintain with stickers. Packaged in an oversized clamshell box, the deluxe edition includes 23 large original die-cut stickers, many of which are signed by the artist.This is the deluxe version including the sticker sheets signed in particular by Invader, Shepard Fairey and Ron English.
