A happy new year! We are pleased to inform you that the library will remain in its rooms until the end of 2024.

The book series “Graffiti Vienna” presents the 40-year history of the graffiti writing movement in the Austrian capital. The authors have painstakingly compiled, organised and selected thousands of photos and pieces of information. The first volume in the series covers the period from 1984 to 1999, during which time graffiti in Vienna developed from a marginal phenomenon to a recognised art form. The book sheds light on the beginnings of the graffiti scene in Vienna, its development and its engagement with the public. But the roots of graffiti culture go back much further. The authors embark on a search for traces back to the 4th century AD.
