Henry Chalfant - Art vs. Transit

Product description

This book was produced as a catalog for the exhibition "Art vs. Transit," at the Bronx Museum of the Arts. In both English and Spanish, the exhibition catalog covers a ten-year span in which Henry Chalfant captured some of the most important pieces on subways of New York’s trainwriting peak.

Besides an introduction by Henry Chalfant, the book also includes a timeline with important hip hop culture occasions since 1973 and portrait shots showing artists such as the ROCK STEADY CREW, DJ KAY SLAY, or young MARE and MIN painting trains at night. But for graffiti enthusiasts, the main highlights might be the almost close-up shots featuring works from various graffiti writers that were active in NYC in the 70s and 80s.
