“Street Art” Exhibition
Catherine Ahnell Gallery
This event has ended.
At the same time as Urban | Art Fair (June 29th to July 3rd) at Spring Studios, just around the corner from Catherine Ahnell Gallery, we are showcasing some of France’s most important urban artists of the 21st century, at 66 Grand Street in Soho.
Originating from New York in the 80s, graffiti and street art continued to evolve in France where the artists had more freedom to express themselves in the streets. In the 90’s a new generation entered the movement, which today has become an evident part of contemporary art and institutional exhibitions. These street artists are helping expanding the horizon of the art world and are forever changing the way we receive, buy and evaluate fine art. Today street art has become one of the most important artistic movements from the 20th and 21st century.
”For me it [street art / graffiti] is not at all a counterculture, it is a culture that is part of our time. It is a culture in itself.”
- Agnès B. Curator and designer, Guest of Honor at Urban | Art Fair.
“We have the chance! You, me and everyone who is looking, to live the artistic movement of the 21th Century. We have Picasso and his friends in front of us!”
- Magda Danyzs, Gallerist, Guest of Honor at Urban | Art Fair.
In the Group Exhibition “STREET ART” at Catherine Ahnell Gallery we are showcasing six internationally recognized artists who have been crucial to the development of the French street art scene.
