DECADES – 2010-2020

For the final chapter of his DECADES trilogy on the Berlin graffiti scene Peter Stelzig once again put together a fully packed 328-paged hardcover with over 900 photos. Like in the two previous chapters the book’s focus are painted trains in the German capital.

Besides an introduction by the publisher the pages are filled with comprehensive chronological chapters that give an overview on trainwriters who peaked out through quantity and quality in the given ten years. On top of that just like in a graffiti magazine various specials put selected writers and crews in spotlight. Each one is accompanied by a text from or on the person and their thoughts on the decade.

New tools like odourless waterbased spray cans, the train company’s struggle to buff subways which lead to an almost fully painted system, or social media influences on the game are topics you find in these chapters. Featured are ABIS78, BOKS, CLUBS, DROW, FB, HELL, IXAP, JEICO, KGO, LION, MATEZ, OFF, OLDI, QUIS, ROCCO, RWRZ, SIEGER, SMS, TBA, TCK, TRASH, TRUS and WILD.

The DECADES books are the biggest coherent collection of material on the Berlin trainwriting scene. Since the final chapter has only half the edition size of previous volumes, we recommend to seize the chance and grab the trio now. All three books are still in stock.
