Martha Cooper ๐บ๐ธ Subway Art Book โข New York Graffiti , by razorwire on Jan 3, 2014 21:13:06 GMT 1, One of my biggest reqrets in recent years is not getting a copy of this - for some reason the launch completely passed me by, and I didn't find out until it was too late. Subway Art had such a massive impact on my life at the time, and I still dig my original copy out on a regular basis. I did manage to get to hear Henry speak about it and chat briefly with him when he was over in the UK a few years back but I would kill for a Marty print.

Just finished the bit where Banksy gets mentioned in reference to the Tom Tom Gallery and the guy who ran it sold the KLF car to Cauty.
Worth a read.
sorry to hijack this thread, but part of the discordianism.....

It's a cracking book isn't it? I would recommend it to absolutely anyone with even the vaguest interest in them, it's a great read and about as far away from your average music biography as it is possible to get, with a unique way of telling things so that even those that think they've heard the story before will get something out of it.

citylore.org/the-gallery/
City Lore
56 E. First Street
New York, NY 10003
212.529.1955
citylore@citylore.org
City Lore is pleased to announce the exhibition: Moving Murals: Henry Chalfant & Martha Cooperโs All-City Graffiti Archive, opening Thursday, April 3rd with a reception from 6-9pm, and running through July 10, 2014.
Shot during the โGolden Age of Graffitiโ in the โ70s and early โ80s, Chalfant and Cooperโs images of graffitied subway cars are among the major documents of American popular culture in the late twentieth century. Moving Murals presents their images in a way that they have never been seen in New York: a wall to wall mosaic of over 850 muraled trains, creating an ultimate All City graffiti trainyard environment complimented by wallpapered photographs of the writers in their element. And for the first time, the exhibit provides an interactive audience experience through the addition of Chalfantโs recently published iBook viewed on a large screen, complete with the train image archive, artist interviews, and videos.
These classic train murals, which have been the inspiration and guide for thousands of youthful artists around the world, did not survive on the trains for long before the city cleaned the cars, or the artistsโ rivals painted over them. Chalfant and Cooperโs patience and determination in hunting down and capturing these ephemeral masterpieces with their cameras has left the world with a representative cross section of some of the best work by the most talented young artists who painted New York Cityโs subway cars in the seventies and eighties. These images pay homage to the young artists from the Cityโs underserved outer boroughs whose workโthough often dismissed as vandalismโchallenged contemporary fine arts standards, and lit the fuse for the street art and hip hop explosion heard around the world.

It's rare to see work that's both genuinely important art and a significant piece of social history. #2, #4 and #6 are my favourites but I love all the pieces. 'Legend' is a much overused term but it definitely applies to Martha. Great work.
