Kevin Bauman

Street art by any name has to include houses and structures. So when I saw an article on Kevin Bauman's 100 Abandoned Houses series, I thought - "Yes - this is street art!"

Photographer Kevin Bauman embarked on an ambitious project. He began photographing Detroit's abandoned and deteriorating houses back in the late 1990s. His intention was to create a record of a Detroit past - a time of splendid homes and great architecture. He wanted to preserve these images before all was torn down. Many of these hosues are still standing, thanks to a recession that stopped redevelopment in that city. All 100AbandonedHouses are on his website KevinBauman.
