Description
City as Canvas: A Visual Account of New York City's Graffiti Art Movement This book chronicles the most important chapter in the street art movement and the artists involved, showcasing Martin Wong's enormous graffiti art collection. Featuring previously unpublished works by famous street artists such as Futura 2000, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Christopher "Daze" Ellis, LA II, Lady Pink, and Keith Haring, among others. The book provides a unique insight into the origins of urban self-expression and the era of "outlaw" street art in New York, which paved the way for graffiti art to spread worldwide. With artwork, photographs, black books, letters, postcards, posters, and flyers, City as Canvas offers a comprehensive look at this pivotal moment in art history. The book is set to open at the Museum of the City of New York in October 2013, providing a timely opportunity for readers to explore this significant chapter in street art.
