GOLDSTEIN, Richard J., Leanne SACRAMONE and Thomas DELAMARRE. Né dans la rue – Graffiti.

(Paris): Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, 2009.  First edition.  Oblong quarto.  Unpaginated.  Superb publication to coincide with the exhibition at Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, July 7, 2009 to January 10, 2010.  The volume explores the birth of graffiti, analyses its codes and techniques, and presents the movement’s major figures, focusing on the artists who contributed to its explosion, its diffusion, and its recognition by the contemporary art world.  The book includes photographs by Martha Cooper, Henry Chalfant, John Naar, and many previously unpublished images.  A very good copy in bolted wrappers.
