Description
Rare and previously unpublished photos of graffiti art from the lesser-known IND and BMT subway lines in New York City are presented in this collection. Capturing the work of prominent writers from the 1970s and 80s, including those from the BMT like Lee, Mono, and Iz The Wiz, these images offer a unique glimpse into the elevated subway scenes, stations, and yards of Brooklyn and Queens during the height of the NYC subway graffiti era. The book features a range of images, including those from Coney Island to Queensboro Plaza, as well as early writers on the IND lines like Pistol, Piper, and A'train. It also includes lesser-known names and throw-ups from these undocumented corridors. This collection is ideal for graffiti artists, historians, and students looking for rare photos on the letter lines. With over 200 pages of high-quality images, this book provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and art of NYC subway graffiti.
