This Means Nothing, by Le Bijoutier.
The other day I picked up this recently-released photographic tome on NYC street art to check out what got featured. There’s some good stuff in here, pieces – like Skewville’s Ride or Die sculpture (see it after the jump) – that have long been lost to the real estate developers glassifying downtown. There are a number of spots featured in the book that at some point or another, I’ve photographed myself, so I figured I’d do a small round-up. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pick up the book. Le Bijoutier has waaaaay more stuff than I feature here and it’s all very nicely showcased: just photos, and like the title implies, no long-winded essays about the meaning of it all.
