In a storm-swept harbor in late autumn, three men are sitting on board a sailing yacht at night, discussing art and aesthetics. As a result of the discussion, a bet occurs between them. The stake of this bet is an image acquired in 1958 that is now almost priceless. Thus begins the story of Mr. Fahrenheit, "...London's hottest street artist" (DubaiWeek) and probably the longest street art project in history. The author accompanies Mr. Fahrenheit over the years on his impressive and fascinating journey through art and street art in cities such as London, Berlin, Dubai, Brussels, Muscat and Hamburg. How did the artistic upgrading of the Berlin Wall come about from both sides in just one night and why was Mr. Fahrenheit almost declared a public enemy of the German Democratic Republic? What previously unknown role did Mr. Fahrenheit play in the lyrics to David's "Heroes"? And what does a Middle Eastern Sheikh have to do with the story? The book will forever change the way you look at street art, because while Duchamp shattered a foundation of belief in art and Koons allowed visitors to his "Made in Heaven" vernissage to become part of the work, Mr. Fahrenheit went far beyond that with the concept of his project. Read the exciting and interesting stories behind Mr. Fahrenheit, how the bet was finally won and how the extraordinary, unique art project was successfully completed. "...he first decorated the Berlin Wall on both sides - in a single night.", Shortlist Dubai "Mr. Fahrenheit has experienced the dangers first-hand.", Time Out Dubai "An absolute must for everyone that is interested in Mr. Fahrenheits work. Thiele is his travel companion for some years, off and on, and has many interviews with him, in which Fahrenheit explains his street art project, and speaks about the many aspects of the world of art and art itself and why he is one of the few people in this world who really matter. Terribly arrogant, but very knowledgeable and a erudite man for sure. But if you are one of those that thinks that 'if you cannot say something nice, you should not say anything at all', I must warn you, you will not get past page 20 or so.", Claude London, London's world famous street art photographer
