According to Newsweek.com, some street artists are reluctant to shift platforms, citing concerns that the move might undermine the work&amp;#039;s ultimate mission. But on a larger scale, it seems most respected graffitists have given in\u2014accepting not only that their artwork will be preserved, but that gallery representation can legitimize their art and attract a new audience.
