Street art emerged as a recognized art form in the late 20th century, evolving from its roots in graffiti during the 1960s and 1970s in urban centers like New York City. Initially seen as vandalism, it became a medium for marginalized communities to express their frustrations and reclaim public spaces, closely linked to hip-hop culture and social commentary[1][2][4].
The transition to mainstream acceptance was marked by prominent figures like Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, who gained notoriety by showcasing their street art in galleries, thus blurring the lines between high art and urban expression. This shift, coupled with the influence of social media and art festivals, solidified street art's legitimacy and cultural significance[2][3][6].
