New York, USA

Brooklyn's Bushwick neighbourhood — particularly the Bushwick Collective on Jefferson Street — hosts over 50 large-scale murals commissioned each year from artists including Shepard Fairey, RETNA, and Futura 2000, making it one of the most concentrated open-air museums in the United States. New York's street art lineage stretches back to the subway car tagging culture of the 1970s and artists like TAKI 183 and Cornbread, through Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, to the global superstars who dominate contemporary walls today. The city's five boroughs each maintain a distinct visual identity, from the Latin muralism of the South Bronx to the abstract experimentalism of Long Island City, Queens.
