About the artist

Martha Cooper is a photojournalist born in Baltimore, Maryland, in the 1940s. She currently lives in Manhattan. She specializes in reporting on everyday urban art and architecture and was the first to document the breakdance and graffiti movements in New York.

From 1977, she worked for three years as a photographer for the New York Post. During this period, she began photographing graffiti and breakdance, subjects that led to her extensive coverage of the early days of Hip Hop from the Bronx.

Martha Cooper's books are bibles on hip-hop, graffiti, breakdance, and the subversive culture of the 70s, including Subway Art, RIP Memorial Wall Art, We B*Girlz, Street Play, New York State of Mind, Tag Town, and Going Postal.

Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world and published in numerous magazines from National Geographic to Vibe. Martha Cooper has also served as the photography director at City Lore.

Description of the work:

Street Play traces the lives of street children in the late 1970s in New York, long before the advent of video games, smartphones, MP3s, and before the urban renewal of the city when children could play and wander freely without supervision in vacant lots.

Martha Cooper immortalized all these moments in black and white photos, with an introduction by Calos Mare 139 Rodriguez, who grew up on the streets of New York.
