Subway Art: (reduced format edition) (Street Graphics / Street Art)

Product Information

Perhaps you don't think of the late and legendary Margaret Kilgallen as a graffiti artist per se, but her works on the streets and trains become a connector between the bohemian and folk aspects of graffiti and street art. This book, although featuring her fine art as well, is her perfect monograph, and one of the great books of the Mission School movement. Not only did it elevate Kilgallen into one of the most important artists of her generation, it also showed just how widespread and nuanced graffiti's spirit had become. My 5-star rating comes with a caveat. Yes, I loved this book; the talent exhibited by the graffiti artists who are represented here is in some cases, extraordinary. It would be hard to make a list of graffiti and street art books and not include the artist who basically sewed all the genres, ideas, innovations and categories into one monumental career. Barry McGee is an enigma in that he transformed what graffiti looked like in a gallery, but also what graffiti books and zines and catalogs would look like, too. Raw, unfettered and full of life, this is the essential Barry McGee monograph.

It has become a tourist attraction in its own right with tours being conducted regularly.The title is a reference to the New York City Subway, where much of the city's graffiti was set during the late 20th century. The book features artists such as Zephyr, Seen, Kase2, Dondi, and Lady Pink. So Ah, to all the critics of these people....Let them eat cake and pop their gout invested veins from being such art philistines!
