Description from the seller
Introduction by Carlos Mare 139, pioneering graffiti artist and sculptor.
The book compiles photographs taken by Martha Cooper from the late 1970s, mainly in the Lower East Side neighborhood of Manhattan, New York.
A rare visual testimony of a vanished New York, raw and unfiltered, unlike a misery-filled portrayal, Martha Cooper emphasizes the imagination and the spirit of freedom of urban youth despite a difficult environment.
Before becoming the godmother of graffiti, Martha Cooper was interested in how people occupied public space, the precursor to her major work Subway Art.
Book in perfect condition with its dust jacket, signed by Martha Cooper.
Dimensions 24.5 x 21.5 cm, 122 pages, total weight 1 kg, 1st edition 2006.
Martha Cooper, iconic photographer of urban art, in the vein of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Saul Leiter, Robert Frank, Ruth Orkin, Helen Levitt, Martin Parr, Henry Chalfant, Vivian Maier, Garry Winogrand, etc.
Registered Colissimo shipment in France and abroad, packaging impeccable.
