One of the most famous types of modern art that is on the rocket is Street Art or Graffiti Art, whose current form has its origins in Philadelphia and the word comes from the word sgrafitto, which is scraping signs or images into the wall. However, today's form of street art has very little to do with this. Just as it has very little to do with luxurious cave paintings. We find the form only in the fact that "artists" use public buildings, walls and urban spaces as their paintings. Although many "smudged" walls in the streets can be outrageous, they are an integral part of today and today's cities. The main prerequisite for a positive perception of this specific street decoration is their suitable location. Street art can breathe new, more luxurious life and energy into austere and ugly urban locations, as if even a renowned architect often could not.

The America of the 70's was an ideal place for graffiti. Graffiti came to the attention of the art world in the 1970s, thanks to Taki, who worked in New York. He was an immigrant from Greece who influenced many future graffiti artists and is still considered a legend. After him, Frank207 and Joe136 made a significant contribution to the history of graffiti.
New York was destined for graffiti to be born here. It was a huge anonymous city, where everyone was fighting for a bit of space in the sun. Graffiti was used as a means of struggle between groups of children, mostly immigrants in Brooklyn and the Bronx. They used their tags on the walls to mark their territories.

From ordinary tags, original works of art slowly emerged, gaining more and more fans. Although the town hall could not cope with the ever-increasing inscriptions in the public space, which included important buildings, monuments, but also trains, the first luxury graffiti exhibition was created in 1973 in the Soho district at the Razer Gallery.

Gradually, this art spread to other US cities and then further around the world. In 1989, the first graffiti museum was opened in New York.
