Spray Nation: 1980s NYC Graffiti Photos

I received this along with many other books on the same topic - this was the one I felt most drawn to and couldn’t put down. Most of the others had a really cluttered feel but this one has a very nice layout and great photos!

With the name Martha Cooper you know its gonna have the goods. Some shots you may have come across before, but quite a few you've never seen. Some dope old subway shots that look like they could have been used for Subway art but were kept out. There is some early street art stuff which I don't care for but appreciate because it was done in the 80s. Some cool shots of Keith Harring getting down too. My favorite pics happened to be the signs that the graff writers did for many small business and corner stores. You'll notice the Connie's peice from Wildstyle as an example. some shots of cats hanging out to, some which looked like subway art session extra photos. All in all a solid book. Cop a copy, kick back and enjoy. cheers and thank you Martha Cooper!

Great book! I love the colorful Graffiti photos.

This book takes you through a journey of the NYC underground arts and Hip Hop scene during the early 1980s. Its almost like you are witnessing it all happen first hand. Great documentation by someone who was accepted by the shakers and bakers of 80s cultural creators.

The book was easy to order, arrived on time and was exactly as described. My son-in-law loved his gift.

All the classics and more. Great follow up to Subway Art

It’s was return due wit was a hard cover, not allowed in hard cover , just paper back, i want this refunded back to me

This is a bautiful collection of photos from a groundbreaking artist, with lovely biographical sketches.

Ce livre vaut surtout pour son côté historique : le début du graffiti à NYC .Sinon la qualité d impression des photos est globalement très moyenne , est ce un problème de fabrication du livre ?

Este libro esta hecho para aquellos amantes del grafiti que disfrutan viendo fotografías y firmas icónicas de los inicios del graff en Nueva York.Fotografías que te sacan una sonrisa y a su vez, dan añoranza de tiempos únicos y irrepetibles como los 80/90’s.Imágenes espectaculares definen este libro, con una narrativa extensa en la que nos informa sobre cada etapa de este arte en la excitante ciudad de NY.

Tolles Buch in super Qualität

Brilliant photos by the legend that is Martha Cooper.
