Experience Born To Run: NYC Subway Graffiti On The IND And BMT Lines : Lange, Tod, Quinones, Lee Developed By Tod Lange Available In Readable Copy

loves it Bellissimo libro, arrivato nei tempi previsti, si nota però che il soggetto delle fotografie

sono i treni e non i masterpiece Captures an era of train bombing.
First off, let me just say, I like the old NYC graffiti on subway trains, If you are looking to see old NYC subway graffiti photos, there are plenty of other books that would be better to spend your money on.
This book is of a collection of a train enthusiasts photos instead of a graffiti enthusiasts, Nonetheless, it does have great quality pages and photos, however mostly from the same angle as you see on the front cover, Sometimes you might see a wholecar but itsorcars down, and you wish you could make it out but just cant, If you are a fan of the old trains from that era, this would be a good buy for you, but as a fan of graffiti, I do not think this book is worth the price.
I love this book but, . this is a collection of photos taken by a train enthusiast rather than a fan of graffiti, the photographer even admits this in the book, he was def not a fan.
As a result the photos are less graffiti trainy if that makes sense, the front cover is a good indicator of the type of photos in the book, one piece is slightly visible the rest fade off in the distance, after a while it gets a little boring looking at the same viewpoint of a train with graffiti that you cant quite make out.
That being said it is very interesting stepping back in time and seeing old New York and who doesnt love a subway carriage!! Despite playing canvas to a long list of talented writers, the IND Independent and BMT Brooklyn Manhattan Transit lines have been underrepresented in graffiti history.
This is now rectified with a collection of high quality images from thes ands that capture works by heavyweights from the BMT like Lee, Mono, Iz The Wiz, Baby, OE, P, and many others.
From Coney Island to Queensboro Plaza and everywhere in between, these nostalgic images capture elevated subway scenes, stations, and subway yards and offer a glimpse through time at Brooklyn and Queens in the height of the NYC subway graffiti era.
This truly amazing lineup also features early writers on the IND lines like Pistol, Piper, A'train, and IN, in addition to obscure names and throw ups from these undocumented corridors.
This is an ideal volume of subway art for graffiti artists, fans, historians, and students looking for rare photos on the letter lines.
