A visual account of the birth of graffiti and street art,
showcasing as-yet-unseen works collected by preeminent artist
Martin Wong. Referred to by the New York Times as an artist "whose
meticulous visionary realism is among the lasting legacies of New
York's East Village art scene of the 1980s," Martin Wong
(1946-1999) was firmly entrenched in the NYC street art world of
the late '70s and '80s. City as Canvas chronicles the most
important chapter in the street art movement and the artists
involved. Showcasing Wong's enormous graffiti art collection, the
book contains artwork, photographs, black books, letters,
postcards, posters, and flyers made by Wong and his artist friends.
The book contains previously unpublished art by famous street
artists such as Futura 2000, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Christopher
"Daze" Ellis, LA II, Lady Pink, and Keith Haring, to name only a
few. City as Canvas traces the origins of urban self-expression and
the era of "outlaw" street art in New York, which primed the
floodgates for graffiti art to spread worldwide. Exhibition
Schedule: Museum of the City of New York: Opens October 2013
