Futura : The Artist´s Monograph
Having forged his graphic style painting subways in New York in the late 1970s, Futura was among the first graffiti artists to be shown in contemporary galleries in the early 1980s, where his paintings shared space with works by Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Kenny Scharf. Commissions from era-defining brands such as A Bathing Ape, Stussy, Supreme, and Mo Wax saw his artwork canonized as an elemental component of the street aesthetic. As the commercialization of street culture in the 1990s inspired collaborations with fashion and lifestyle brands, Futura s work moved toward a more refined expression of his abstract graffiti style.
Guided through more than forty years of work, and with interviews with key players in Futura s career, this is at once a definitive monograph of a legend of contemporary art and an indispensable chapter in the history of graffiti. Collected here, among never-before-published reproductions of earlier paintings and drawings, is an archive of personal photography and ephemera that reveals how integral Futura has been to the evolution of street art and culture.
