本书不仅收录了从未出版过的早期绘画和素描的复制品,还有个人摄影和短时效物品的档案,这些档案文件揭示了Futura对街头艺术和文化的演变发挥着不可或缺的作用。在Futura四十多年来的作品的引导下,以及通过对Futura职业生涯中关键人物的采访,本书既是一部关于当代艺术传奇人物的权威专著,也是涂鸦史上不可或缺的一章。
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.
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.
