Subway Art Book - Softcover
Product description
Subway Art
Relive the beginnings of graffiti history with "Subway Art", probably the most important book on graffiti and train writing by Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant. First published in 1984, this book ensured that graffiti made the step from the New York subway into the world.
Martha Cooper, a renowned photographer, and Henry Chalfant, a documentary filmmaker, teamed up to bring together a collection of images that captured the dynamism and energy of the emerging graffiti movement.
"Subway Art" is not only a visual journey through the colorful graffiti scene in NYC, but also a historical caesura that traces the origin and evolution of writing. "Subway Art" is not just a book, it is a tribute to the rebellion and the pioneers who helped shape the urban image of New York City.
