Join The powerHouse Arena for "a talk and Q&A with Martha Cooper, Henry Chalfant, and Joseph Schloss about the burgeoning New York City graffiti movement... During the 1970s and 80s, photographers Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant captured the environment and the imagination of a generation by documenting the growing New York City graffiti movement. Now, 25 years and more than a half a million copies later, their bestselling book Subway Art is available in a large-scale, deluxe format, heightening the visual impact of their classic images. With 70 additional photographs, and a fresh introduction and afterword, this collector's edition illustrates the passion, creativity and resourcefulness of unlikely kids inventing an art form destined to spread worldwide and spawn the present-day street art movement. Subway Art is the definitive book on graffiti from its inception as a 'social plague' to its role as a sounding board for young urban voices and up-and-coming artists. This classic book tells the story of the rise of graffiti from the New York City streets to galleries worldwide–a must for anyone that appreciates urban life, spectacular photography, and 1980s cool."
