Description

A remarkable collection of previously unpublished images of New York's graffiti scene in the 1980s is presented in Spray Nation. Culled from the archives of a renowned graffiti photographer, these images capture a gritty era that is now lost forever. The book features hundreds of thousands of digitized 35mm Kodachrome slides, painstakingly selected and accompanied by heartfelt essays that celebrate the photographer's drive and singular vision. The images range from obscure tags to portraits, action shots, walls, and painted subway cars, offering a unique glimpse into the world of graffiti art. Although the original pieces and many of their creators have been lost, these powerful photos feel as immediate as a subway train thundering down the tracks. Through this collection, the photographer's singular vision and spirit are brought to life, providing a fascinating insight into a bygone era of street art.
