Back in the 1970s, at a time when the powers that be were waging a war against the emerging street art culture as part of its agenda of cleaning up the city, photographer Martha Cooper travelled the streets and subways of New York documenting its rich, vibrant graffiti. Working for the New York Post at the time, she glimpsed the beauty and creativity in this democratic art form as she journeyed through the boroughs of the city with her camera.  Like the once-impoverished New York neighbourhoods (since transformed by the process of gentrification) depicted in Cooper’s early photographs, the worth of graffiti art itself has similarly been reevaluated by the art establishment. As a medium, it’s since come to gain recognition and acceptance thanks to the ascent of artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Al-Diaz, who left their enigmatic statements across the streets of NYC as the duo SAMO©, and Keith Haring, famed for his prolific and revered subway graffiti.
