Writers (Dokument Press)
Signing by authors
Alan Fleisher and Paul Iovino
With original old
school subway writers Ale One , Blade One, TAKI 183 & Others.
Early 70s New York
saw the growth of a new artistic phenomenon: created by kids, for kids,
graffiti became one of the greatest and most influential artistic movement of
our time, spawning contemporary artists like Seen, Banksy, and Revok. In Classic
Hits, Bronx natives Alan Fleisher (ALE) and Paul Iovino (SKAY) talk about
where it all started, drawing on their first hand knowledge of graffiti culture
and continued friendship with other pioneers to create the most visual book on
early 1970s graffiti ever published, including essays and quotations from the
greats of the era. Alan and Paul will talk briefly about their
experiences and host a signing with writers featured in the book, including
Blade 1 and others, to a custom-made soundtrack of 1970s hits!
