The book is far less coffee table book than it is art history primer. Dominated by interviews with artists, writers, activists and one London judge, Lewisohn concerns himself more with individuals who've had a pivotal or lasting impact on the abstract side of the movement, rather than any media-hyped superstars. In other words, Abstract Graffiti is more about the hows and whys, and less about the whos. - PLANET MAGAZINE ... a thoughtful presentation of an art form too frequently overlooked. - MONSTERS & CRITICS Cedar Lewisohn introduces us to different concepts, the things he calls the 'outer limits' of street art. It's refreshing in its unrestricted angle/slant on the street art scene at the mo. - THE RAD DAD COLLECTIVE Abstract Graffiti by Cedar Lewisohn has something new to offer the genre - and introduces you to a whole new world of graffiti and street art that is currently going on with a world perspective. - MAGIK CITY
