There were lines around the block.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Roberta Smith, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn December of 2006, an unlikely group of nearly 100 street artists from all over the world came together to participate in an art show celebrating Eleven Spring Street, long a premiere destination on the international Street Art map. \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e wrote, \"One of the best shows of the season flamed past just before Christmas: a weekend long display of graffiti created by artists from around the world at, and in honor of, 11 Spring Street.\" The methodology was mixed media to the max: Wheat paste, paper, spray paint, house paint, markers, metal objects, found objects…the result was chaotic yet undeniably arresting. Marc and Sara Schiller of the Wooster Collective curated the three-day event, calling the show \u003ci\u003eWooster on Spring\u003c\/i\u003e. It featured street art superstars like Shepard Fairey and Swoon as well as emergent talents including JR, Prune, and Doze Green.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result was a potent mix of artists who brought the street inside by re-claiming the walls for themselves, and a tipping point for what has become an international art world phenomenon. The three-day public viewing session was a landmark downtown event that drew crowds in the thousands, with people waiting up to five hours to get inside. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an Introduction by Shepard Fairey, an Afterword by JR, and an essay from Randy Kennedy of \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEleven Spring\u003c\/i\u003e captures an important moment in Street Art’s history.
