If you were a graffiti writer in 1980s New York City, you wanted
Martha Cooper to document your work-and she probably did. Cooper
has spent decades immortalizing art that is often overlooked, and
usually illegal. Her first book, 1984's Subway Art (a collaboration
with Henry Chalfant), is affectionately referred to by graffiti
artists as the "bible". To create Spray Nation, Cooper and editor
Roger Gastman pored through hundreds of thousands of 35mm
Kodachrome slides, painstakingly selecting and digitizing them. The
photos range from obscure tags to portraits, action shots, walls,
and painted subway cars. They are accompanied by heartfelt essays
celebrating Cooper's drive, spirit, and singular vision. The images
capture a gritty New York era that is gone forever. And although
the original pieces (as well as many of their creators) have been
lost, these powerful photos feel as immediate as a subway train
thundering down the tracks.
