Having forged his graphic style painting subways in New York in the
late 1970s, Futura was among the first graffiti artists to be shown
in contemporary galleries in the early 1980s, where his paintings
shared space with works by Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and
Kenny Scharf. As the commercialization of street culture in the
1990s inspired collaborations with fashion and lifestyle brands,
Futura s work moved toward a more refined expression of his
abstract graffiti style. Commissions from era-defining brands such
as A Bathing Ape, Stussy, Supreme, and Mo Wax saw his artwork
canonized as an elemental component of the street aesthetic.
Collected here, among never-before-published reproductions of
earlier paintings and drawings, is an archive of personal
photography and ephemera that reveals how integral Futura has been
to the evolution of street art and culture. Guided through more
than forty years of work, and with interviews with key players in
Futura s career, this is at once a definitive monograph of a legend
of contemporary art and an indispensable chapter in the history of
graffiti.
