Berlin: Karin Kramer, 1979. First edition. 8vo, 173 pp, printed wrappers. Profusely illustrated, including section of color plates. Text in German.
A superb book documenting graffiti in West Berlin, designed and compiled by an anonymous committee of "district groups, citizens' initiatives, women's groups, individuals, hordes, gangs, ghosts, groups, hacks, subversives et al." The photographs document graffiti, murals, stencil art and posters relating to social movements, squatting, ecology, anti-nuclear action, police brutality, feminism, and LGBTQ rights. Valuable ocumentation not only of the counterculture in West Berlin at the time, but also for the photographic documentation of ephemeral works in a pivotal era.
OCLC locates only two holdings in North America.
Very good with some minor creasing to wraps and a single faint droplet stain to top of text block. Item #29997
