Trust me, I had to research like a MANIAC, just to get a slight idea about what this art form is all about (no kidding)!💤
On 30th September 2006, an exhibition was organized by the prestigious Brooklyn Museum that presented the canvasses of the renowned graffiti artists who had contributed to the blossoming of this expressive art form.
Through the works of Michael Tracy (Tracy 168), Melvin Samuels Jr. (NOC 167), Sandra Fabara (Lady Pink), Chris Ellis (Daze), and John Matos (Crash), the exhibition examined the artistic legitimacy of a mode of expression frequently presented as mere defacement of public space.
The City Of Paris similarly paid homage to these in TAG: Tag And Graffiti. The artistic redefinition provoked by this transplantation became more pronounced in the Early 80s, with major exhibitions organized in prominent art museums which presented selection of works by artists such as Jean Micheal, Lady Pink, Daze, Zephyr.👻
