Henry Chalfant's Big Subway Archive
by Henry Chalfant & Max Hergenrother
Description
Henry Chalfant's Big Graffiti Archive
is a work of visual anthropology and one of the seminal documents of
American popular culture in the late twentieth century. The original
artworks depicted here, which have been the inspiration and guide for
thousands of youthful artists around the world, were never able to
endure for long before the city cleaned the cars, or the artists'
enemies crossed them out. Chalfant's patience and determination in
hunting down and capturing these masterpieces with his camera has left
the world with a representative cross section of some of the best work
by the most talented young artists who painted New York City's subway
cars in the seventies and eighties, the golden age of graffiti. A
handful of Chalfant's photos have been featured in such books as Subway
Art and films like Style Wars. Now for the first time, the entire
collection will be made available, released serially over the next year
until all 800 trains have been published.
