Culled from the extensive archives of one of the most renowned graffiti photographers of all time comes this remarkable collection of previously unpublished images of New York's graffiti scene in the 1980s. 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 intimate portraits action shots walls and subway cars painted inside and out. 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 resplendent photos feel as immediate and powerful as a subway train thundering down the tracks.
