After the success of ‘Amsterdam Street Art’ from 2023, in which Kees Kamper’s photography showed 17 years of Amsterdam graffiti art, there is now ‘Amsterdam Street Art 2’. Kees Kamper has not been leaning back and in the period of 2023 to 2025 he again photographed the new street art that he encountered in all corners of the city.

Amsterdam has played a key role in the rise of graffiti culture since the 1970s. Today, Amsterdam attracts national and international graffiti artists, both emerging talent and established names. Street art remains a powerful form of artistic expression.

Moreover, graffiti and street art are recognized worldwide as the basis for various contemporary art movements, and continue to influence fashion and design. However, it is an art form with an inherently transient character, as many of the artworks are destroyed after awhile by, for example, urban development. That is precisely why it is vital that works are captured photographically.

Kees Kamper's photos can be seen as art historical documentation, but also as a source of inspiration for emerging artists and as recognition for well-known artists. In any case, this is a book that every street art lover will thoroughly enjoy.
