As a form of creative expression, street art has been gaining more and more popularity in recent years; it is no longer just an underground movement rooted in graffiti and hip hop. Instead, street art is now a highly regarded genre on the global art stage. With many art events coming along in Hong Kong recently, Sotheby’s has once again partnered with London-based Steve Lazarides to hold their first street art exhibition in Asia, “They Would Be Kings” at Sotheby’s Hong Kong Gallery. The gallery has been turned into a New York subway station and features artworks by globally renowned street artists including Banksy, Kaws, Keith Haring, Ron English, Shepard Fairey, Invader and the “King of Kowloon” Tsang Tsou Choi, illustrating the trends and progression of street art around the world.
