Thomas Christ: Instant Recognition
Subway/Urban Graffiti. New York/Basel 82/83
In the early 1980s, New York is the epicenter of the graffiti and street art scenes, from which a global cultural revolution emanates. In the middle of it all is Swiss art historian and lawyer Thomas Christ with his camera.
Massive 400 page tome of NYC grafitti from 82/82 by Swiss photographer, Thomas Christ. Incidentally an absolutely incredible color document of the city in the early 80s. Highly recommended.
