“Litvin succeeds, not only because of the breadth of styles his photographs show, but also because of the richness of the stories behind the paint and stencils.”

Martin Colyer, Eye Magazine

“There is no museum fee, no gallery cover or pressure to purchase; there isn’t even an internet or cable fee. It is truly for the public and always will be as long as there are artists looking for such a canvas. Yoav Litvin’s marvelously conceived book is testament to this and the artists included therein.”

Ron Jacobs, Counterpunch

“Litvin is not willing to cede the art to self-interested upstarts. He created Outdoor Gallery to keep his ideal of the medium alive”

Steven Heller, The Atlantic

“It’s the variety and personality, the crazy and the unique, in Litvin’s portraits that make his book special”

Jenna McLaughlin, Mother Jones

“Thought provoking, comprehensive and aesthetically pleasing, Outdoor Gallery presents hundreds of street art photographs, accompanied by interviews, featuring more than forty artists”
