The discussion as to whether street art is now art or vandalism has been going through society for decades. The origins of street art include impressive pioneers such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, which have contributed to the development of these formats. The potential of technology, in recent years, has meant that Banksy is also considered one of the most expensive artists in the world. The press shows how the perception of graffiti and street art has changed. Where there were once vandalism and crime in the foreground, an independent and valuable art form has been created today.
