Historischer Hinweis

  • Historically, the term "piece" emerged from the graffiti movement in the 1970s and 1980s, particularly in New York City. As graffiti evolved from simple tags to more complex works, the term "piece" was used to distinguish these larger, more intricate works from simpler tags and throw-ups. Over time, creating a piece has become a way for graffitists to demonstrate their skill and earn respect within the graffiti community.

Bearbeitungshinweis

  • The term "pieces" in graffiti is short for "masterpiece" and is now more commonly used. A piece is a type of graffiti writing that is more complex and time-consuming than a throw-up. It is a significant work of graffiti, often large and elaborate, that showcases the skill and creativity of the graffitist. Pieces are typically created using multiple colours and may include 3D effects, characters, and other artistic elements.
