Melbourne Street Art: Hosier Lane
Background
"Few would dispute Melbourne's standing as an international
hotspot for street art. Along with cities such as New York, London
and Barcelona, it's a place where the form flourishes and the
results are celebrated.
The world's most famous graffiti artist, Britain's Banksy, calls
Melbourne's street art "... arguably Australia's most significant
contribution to the arts since they stole all the Aborigines'
pencils"."
