(Preface) 'From fine art boards to three-dimensional extensions, from glittering neon to the enormous hand-painted boards that line the drive-through gallery called the Sunset Strip, billboards are an everyday part of the urban landscape. This is the first in-depth look at these huge art images that seem to loom over us as an enormous mirror, reflecting the values of our society.
BILLBOARD ART traces the history of the phenomenon the French call gigantisme from its beginnings in outsized posters through the major events of the twentieth century. Billboards reflect the trends in advertising art and have, in turn, influenced fine artists. In these 250 examples from all over the world, billboards give us a good picture of what we think "the good life" is.'
