DAZEWORLD: The Artwork of Chris Daze Ellis

Product description

This book, with more than 250 photographs, is a journey tracking the seminal moments in Daze's life that shaped his art. View his aesthetic evolution, from Graffiti High (New York's High School of Art and Design) and street art phase to exhibitions together with Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Train photos from the '70s and '80s, a broad representation of Daze's studio and mural works, and personal photos guide the reader through an artistic portfolio spanning five decades. Contributions by graffiti writer Jay J.SON Edlin and essayist Claire Schwartz, and a foreword by graffiti historian and chronicler Sacha Jenkins, complete this volume.

The artwork 'Riot in Times Square' (2017) by Daze is part of our Quote from the streets exhibition.
