A fascinating look at Keith Haring's New York City subway artwork
from the 1980s Celebrated artist Keith Haring (1958-1990) has been
embraced by popular culture for his signature bold graphic line
drawings of figures and forms. Like other graffiti artists in the
1980s, Haring found an empty canvas in the advertising panels
scattered throughout New York City's subway system, where he
communicated his socially conscious, often humorous messages on
platforms and train cars. Over a five-year period, in an epic
conquest of civic space, Haring produced a massive body of subway
artwork that remains daunting in its scale and its impact on the
public consciousness. Dedicated to the individuals who might
encounter them and to the moments of their creation, Haring's
drawings now exist solely in the form of documentary photographs
and legend. Because they were not meant to be permanent-only
briefly inhabiting blacked-out advertising boards before being
covered up by ads or torn down by authorities or admirers-what
little remains of this project is uniquely fugitive. Keith Haring:
31 Subway Drawings reproduces archival materials relating to this
magnificent project alongside essays by leading Haring experts.

Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the artist's birth, this book
is the intended to be a faithful posthumous execution of the
project. Containing a wealth of unpublished materials, and
representing a decade of work and research, it promises to be the
definitive book on the artist's life and work. Beginning with his
very first collages and early subway tags - including many
heretofore unseen photographs of the first ephemeral chalk drawings
- through the development of the iconic graphic work now synonymous
with his name, the book follows his meteoric rise to international
stardom and worldwide recognition. Completely unprecedented in its
scope, this volume documents everything from sketches to unedited
interviews; personal snapshots to party invitations, bringing to
life an extraordinary decade in art and history.
Forty years ago, graffiti in New York evolved from elementary
mark-making into an important art form. By the end of the 1980s, it
had been documented in books and films that were seen around the
world, sparking an international graffiti movement. Art in the
Streets, now back in print after several years, considers the rise
of New York graffiti and the international scenes it inspired from
Los Angeles to Sao Paulo to Paris to Tokyo as well as earlier and
parallel movements: the break dancing and rap music of hip-hop; the
graffiti used by Chicano gangs to mark their territory; the
skateboarding culture that began in Southern California. Expertly
researched, beautifully illustrated, and featuring contributions by
many of the most significant curators, writers, and artists
involved in the graffiti world, this now classic volume is an
in-depth examination of this seminal movement.
Figuration is one of the oldest art forms, but it continually
evolves, along with our changing understanding of human identity.
The artists featured here often source imagery from the Internet,
and draw on aesthetics developed in Internet-first channels.
Digital techniques and affordances are incorporated into rendering
processes with traditional media: brushstrokes are more precise,
lines are sharper, and color is more highly keyed. In these works,
expressionism is located more in the composition than in the paint
handling. This richly illustrated collection of figurative works is
accompanied by texts that connect the present moment in painting to
the early 1980s, when the emergence of artists such as Jean-Michel
Basquiat, Francesco Clemente, David Salle, and Julian Schnabel
revitalized the art dialogue after the extended dissolution of
Minimalism, and to its roots in the practice of painters like
Picabia.
Cheap, democratic, easy to tag, and not always fast to fade, the
sticker has been an ever-present medium from the New York and
London underground punk scenes to skate culture and political
expression. Featuring more than 3,000 images of stickers from the
global world of street expression where DIY culture meets music,
graffiti, design, and branding Stickers 2 is a comprehensive record

and significance. STICKERS 2 illustrates the timeline of this
pastime, from counterculture to politics, it s 2019 chapters

Streetwear, Graffiti, Fine Art, Political Activism, however Volume

Barely thirty years old, Ryan McGinness has already achieved a
lifetime's worth of personal and critical success. A graphic
designer known for his signature blend of psychedelic abstract with
product-oriented representation, McGinness uses a hypnotic personal
iconography of symbols and images, which are recontextualized in
media as diverse as soccer balls and agnes b. dress shirts.
This volume features a wide range of McGinness's art and design,
including works on paper, drawings, installations, and sketchbook
selections. With boundless creativity and graphic agility,
McGinness has succeeded in bridging a significant gap in
contemporary design: His work is original; yet it is equally at
home on gallery walls as it is on the mass-produced. Ryan McGinness
shows how, by extending the limitations of graphic design, he has
created an aesthetic that is palpably relevant, instantly
recognizable, and unquestionably his own.
..."Ryan has elevated graphic design to an art form." ―

the most exactingly attuned and self-policed hipsters..."
