Graffiti 101: New York Subway Art of the 1970s and 80s

Artist and author Chris Pape presents a lively, illustrated overview of the New York City subway graffiti movement between 1969 and 1989, and an insider’s account of what it was like to stand in a tunnel with subway cars racing past while trying to paint a train.
