The Hole Presents “The History Of American Graffiti” Book Signing With TAKI 183
Here’s the info:
Forty years ago, an article in the July 21,1971 issue of the New York Times ignited the graffiti movement in New York. With its profile on the then 17-year-old Demetrius, a Manhattan teenager who was known locally by his ubiquitous “tag” of TAKI 183, graffiti had officially arrived.
On the 40th anniversary of this article, July 21, 2011, TAKI 183 will arrive – again – at The Hole gallery in New York City for a special event with Roger Gastman and Caleb Neelon, authors of a new book on the history of this colorful and influential art form – The History Of American Graffiti, to which TAKI 183 wrote the foreword.
