Martha Cooper ๐บ๐ธ Subway Art Book โข New York Graffiti , by sfnyc on May 9, 2019 6:07:00 GMT 1, Well I may have sounded harsh / trolling but I have had the experience myself and a few other more or lesd known artists I know as well. Some adore her, some canโt stand her. She will like you if you treat her like a god but she will act out and flip a shit if sheโs feels more important than you and you donโt kiss her ass. All of that could be considered ok if she was really a talented photographer, but she takes really bad photos most of the time. And gosh does she love name dropping and evaluating the importance of someone by their instagram following... all that is why I call her a parasite...

She is over 70 years old and still went into the yard with 1UP crew taking pictures while they were bombing trains.

Had the chance to met her at the Urban Nation Museum in Berlin and she was super lovely.
Took time to sign stuff and talk to everyone and as Tobi187 mentioned she is 70 years old and still contributes more to the scene than many others.

Had been put in one flimsy card backed envelope - no other support or protection. I've messaged Learn & Skate but not heard back. Real shame as it's a lovely print. If this is how they've all been sent then I don't expect there to be many unscathed.

Hopefully they will send you a replacement. |

Martha Cooper ๐บ๐ธ Subway Art Book โข New York Graffiti , by disappointed on Jun 21, 2020 20:56:05 GMT 1, As part of one of my occasional clear outs I have been through a portfolio and have the following to go if anyone is interested. All quoted prices are exclusive of postage:
Trains & Generations box of postcards featuring several generations of renowned graffiti documenters/photographers - Martha Cooper, Alex Fakso, and Smart B. The wooden box is laser cut and signed in marker on the reverse by all three contributor. From the edition of 40 and published by Under Dogs. Includes roll of 35mm film, COA and twelve postcards (four by each of he photographers). Nice piece of historical ephemera. ยฃ150. SOLD
Aiko, B'wick Bunny.
Mixed media comprising stencilled spray paint, (very likely) coffee, etc, on 42.5cms x 28cms unstretched canvas from a varied edition of 8, dated 2007. Vintage Aiko and very heavily textured, and is impressive look in person. From not too long after she split with Faile and certainly still reflective of the imagery she contributed to that early collective. Signed, dated, and titled on the reverse:
![]()
Offers on this, not because I am looking for a shady, anonymous bidding war but because I have o idea of it's value. Maybe nowhere near as much as it should be given her place at the beginning of the 2000's NYC scene so don't be shy.
Seen, couple of untitled small marker pen pieces on paper, each 21cms x 15cms. With COA from Seen studios, also signed by the man himself:
Again, no clue as to value so offers please. Happy to sell either as a pair or individually. Top seen SOLD
Early Cyclops/Lucas Price character on found poster, spray paint and (I think) ink/marker/something like that. IIRC, this is from when he used to sell pieces via ebay in the very early days. It's on a ~57cms x 38cms vintage looking poster that has fold marks, tears, and blue tack from well before he used it as a surface so is very much in found/'artists' condition. Unsigned but still pretty cool so ยฃ150? SOLD
Hopefully that is all clear enough but do DM me for any additional info/photos/etc. Please bear with me though as I do not check in here every day so reply may not be immediate..
