R.I.P Jim Prigoff. legendary documentarian of graffiti culture who sadly left us this week.
Jim Prigoff assembled one of the most extensive bodies of photo documentation of the global mural movement beginning in the 1970s. By the 1980s, he was photographing graffiti and co-produced the book Spraycan Art with friend Henry Chalfant in 1987, a book now considered a classic tome of modern graffiti.

It just seems to me that books have nothing to do here - even if some may find it of interest - sometimes it is about art, even classical, style life, photos, etc. etc. I think - but hey, I don't care too - that we should refocus on street-art or graffiti as the name of this forum suggests. Hirst Wei Wei, ok of course, especially for rare edits .. For other artists, I'm more dubious ... We get lost a bit, it is expensive, and I wonder if we, members, are not concentrating on books, because there is nothing else to buy at the moment, or to put ourselves under. the tooth: poor period for pints or so, too expensive prints ... just a few ideas .. I can see where you're coming from Lroy, but to me books and art go hand in hand.
Visite a random art museum- or art gallery shop and you will be surrounded with stacks of art books . Books in relation to art can serve multiple purposes.
It can form a reference work such as the recently published Invader book Prints on paper.
Or the many published Catalogue Raisonnรฉs by artist such as:
Hirst, Haring, Basquiat, Warhol, Picasso and Rembrandt just to name a few. A book can be used as an art medium the so called artists books. Artist like: Miro, Matisse, Ruscha, Stanley Donwood and Jasper Johns all published or co-published artists books to some extend.
Lastly we can learn from art books, informative or for study.
Discover new artists, art movements or art/artists in context to history etc.
There are certainly more purposes. Feel free to discuss.

And I saw yesterday.. Hirst ! ( I wonโt buy - I have not a good salary - canโt go on the Rolex thread ).. As said one day Jonthebadgers, ยซย itโs not good for the wallet ยซย This thread exists since years, and .. boom ! It took in several months dozen of pages of the forum ! Or maybe more books are out since covid ( people read then a lot with lp down or coming back to a quiet life )..
I said in myself - this afternoon - oh, members buy books, because of the lack of prints ( look, 3 threads about Invader book ) or I donโt know why ...
But you are right all ! Itโs a peaceful and beautiful thread ! ( all rest is money and money, sales mostly ) as if it has a barrier with the rest.
Anyway I buy books but I donโt read them, working or always on the internet, fora and social media and tired sometimes ! Do you read all of them, or like me you like to collect them for your library and collection ?
To finish, I thought too, this afternoon, that in the 40 pages - increasingly exponentially day by day, itโs hard sometimes to find the ยซย One ยป , that gave you attention, when you read a great critic and/or you wanted it to buy... ( then forgot it ) Iโm afraid some links of books could be lost in a corner of all the pages of this thread ! Maybe we should put hashtags ( I make screenshots with my phone )
I appreciate when there are updates of forgotten links or books ! Thanks ladies and lads ! ...

If you want to read about him and his rather colourful life I suggest you tackle 'The Andy Warhol Diaries', then the excellent 'Holy Terror' by Bob Colacello ( he was the editor of Interview for 10 years ) and finish it off by the new biography by Blake Gopnik.

I considered cutting the page out and framing it on it's own but thought this was a nice way to keep the whole book intact.

Shipping costs went a little higher due to Brexit, but we are doing the best to make them affordable, considering that we ship fast, we take care of super well packaging the books and we are always there to support readers, if they have any questions or problems.
Invader's book is sold out again. Hope to receive some more copies, but not sure. 1UP book is sold out too, but we already ordered new copies. We restocked Dran this week, as for Momo's catalog printed by Hangar 107 in Rouen.
For those who wants to be updated, just subscribe to our newsletter through the online store. We send a mail 3/4 times a month, sometimes with some nice drops :-)
You can also reach the bookstore by mail or IG.

This will be a cool reminder when I'll be older. I loved The pick of destiny and I love how "crazy" and creative JB and KG can be.Saw them in Amsterdam in a church that was transformed in a concert hall,very impressive But you are right,at one point it's a bit too childish. Anyway,thanks for the heads-up. I am happy to have it.

If its any help, if you e-mail the gallery direct as Ravnur says, they should be able to help you out. They explained to me that they are only releasing a few at a time due to the interest - they seem right nice people to deal with.
Shipping to the UK pretty expensive at circa 37 EURO.
I declined because of this, but if anyone wants to order 2, and split the shipping, just let me know.
