Graffiti Kings: New York City Mass Transit Art of the 1970's
Jack Stewart, a painter, muralist, and art historian, first began to photograph graffiti as it made its transition from the streets to the subways. He was one of the first observers to understand the power and significance of tags, and he befriended and interviewed many of the writers who appear in this collection. This text is based on Stewart's doctoral thesis, and has been curated and edited by his wife, Regina Stewart.
