After the success of ‘Amsterdam Street Art’ from 2023, which showcased 17 years of Amsterdam graffiti art through Kees Kamper’s photography, there is now ‘Amsterdam Street Art 2’. Kees Kamper did not stay idle and photographed the new street art he encountered throughout the city from 2023 to 2025. Since the 1970s, Amsterdam has played a key role in the rise of graffiti culture.
Today, Amsterdam attracts both national and international graffiti artists, including emerging talent as well as established names. Street art remains a powerful form of artistic expression. Moreover, graffiti and street art are recognized worldwide as a basis for various contemporary art movements and continue to influence fashion and design. However, it is an art form with an inherently ephemeral nature, as much street art eventually disappears due to urban development, for example. Precisely for this reason, it is vital that works are captured photographically are recorded.
The photos by Kees Kamper can be seen as art-historical documentation, but also as a source of inspiration for emerging artists and as recognition for well-known artists. In any case, this is a book that any street art enthusiast can truly enjoy
