Futura: The Artist's Monograph is the most in-depth and comprehensive book on the career and life of Futura, one of the most pioneering artists of the original graffiti generation. Futura was one of the first graffiti artists to appear in contemporary galleries in the early 1980s, having painted his art in the New York subways in the late 1970s. In the 1990s, as street culture became more commercial through fashion, Futura's work moved towards a more refined expression within his abstract graffiti style and he took on commissions for commodity brands such as Stüssy and Supreme.
In Futura: The Artist's Monograph you will find collected reproductions of earlier paintings and drawings that have never been published before. An archive of personal photographs reveals the great influence Futura has had on the culture and development of street art. The book guides you through more than 40 years of work and interviews with key players in Futura's career.
