Book Recomendation, by Coach on Apr 21, 2011 21:44:25 GMT 1, I bought this recently
www.amazon.co.uk/Graffiti-Kings-York-Transit-1970s/dp/0810975262/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1303418297&sr=8-1
Back cover "the definitive book on subway graffiti, the spontaneous art movement that exploded throughout New York City in the early 1970's. In this historic, firsthand account, Jack Stewart recounts how pioneering writers put their lives on the line to grab fame from a faceless urban landscape"
Good book, with info about all the writers of that time, great photo's. Anyone who likes subway tagging of that era will enjoy this book I think.

Good text is hard to come by!

Didnt know much about tagging and wasnt that interested really, but this book is fantastic. Really interesting and to easy read, gives you a real feel for the origins of tagging (and therefore streetart) and the motivation behind it. The book is hardbacked and contains loads of pictures.
Fopp in London had copies for £5
