Basel Week 2013: Street Art at the Wynwood Walls and More

The Wynwood neighborhood in Miami is the street art nexus during Basel Week. The urban art event The Wynwood Walls transforms the area into a huge canvas for some of today's most well-known street artists. While there is an officially sanctioned courtyard that houses the work of Miss Van, Kenny Scharf, Olek, Shepard Fairy, Ron English, Vhils and others, a copious amount of murals pop up on the surrounding blocks. We spotted Nychos's dissected creatures, rainbow-hued photorealist portraits by Kobra, a huge piece by Herakut, the monochromatic, mischievous characters of The London Police and much more. Take a look at some street art highlights after the jump.
