Nuevo Mundo

---

One could argue that today s most innovative street artists come from Latin America. The unique visual styles of Os Gemeos, Bastardilla, Vitché, Saner, Jorge Rodriguez Gerada, and others are not only highly respected in the international art scene, b
ut their work has also been exhibited at renowned museums including the Tate Modern and Fondation Cartier. Nuevo Mundo is the first book to provide a comprehensive documentation of current street art in Latin America by exploring the full spectrum of
regional scenes in their impressive diversity. The book is structured into chapters that introduce work from Argentina, Brazil, Central America, Chile, Columbia, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Nuevo Mundo features not
only established artists from Latin America, but also promising new talents. In addition to inspiring images, the book s informed texts describe the history and context of the region as a whole and also give insight into each scene. The explosive mi
xture of indigenous cultures, local folklore, and the history of European colonization has created a unique visual style. The high regard in which these young street artists are now held around the world is a sign of the new self-confidence of an ent
ire continent.
