Jaime Rojo & Steven Harrington: Martha Cooper: The MOCA Honoree is Remixed in Brooklyn and LA
By the time the 25th anniversary edition of Subway Art was published in 2009, generations of graffiti and street artists had been influenced by Martha Cooper’s photographs of New York City graffiti art on trains. Not an immediate success, the book she co-authored with Henry Chalfant eventually sold half a million copies and became a holy book for fans, aspiring artists, and art historians worldwide. An inspiration to many graffiti and street artists today, her photos are the basis for the Martha Cooper: Remix show at Carmichael Gallery in Culver City and why she and Street Artist Aiko are wheat pasting 170 of her photographs on a wall at the MOCA Art in the Streets exhibition opening the April 16th.
