The first appearances of graffiti ldquo;tagsrdquo; (signatures) on New York City subway trains in the early 1970s were discarded as incidents of vandalism or the rough; violent cries of the ignorant and impoverished. However; as the graffiti movement progressed and tags became more elaborate and ubiquitous; genuine artists emerged whose unique creativity and unconventional media captured the attention of the world.Featuring gallery and street works by several contributors to the graffiti scene; this book offers insight into the lives of urban artists; describes their relationship with the bourgeois art world; and discusses their artistic motivation with unprecedented sensitivity.
