Despite playing a significant role in the graffiti history of New York City, the IND (Independent) and BMT (Brooklyn Manhattan Transit) lines have been somewhat underrepresented. However, that is now changing with the release of a collection of high-quality images from the 1970s and 80s that showcase the works of renowned BMT artists such as Lee, Mono, Iz The Wiz, Baby168, OE3, P13, and many others. These images capture elevated subway scenes, stations, and subway yards, offering a nostalgic glimpse into Brooklyn and Queens during the peak era of NYC subway graffiti.
The lineup of artists featured in this collection is truly impressive, encompassing both early writers on the IND lines like Pistol, Piper, A train, and IN, as well as obscure names and throw-ups from these undocumented corridors. This volume of subway art is an ideal resource for graffiti artists, fans, historians, and students seeking rare photos of the letter lines.
The images in this collection capture the raw energy and creativity of the graffiti artists who worked on these lines, showcasing their unique styles and techniques. From intricate murals to bold tags, these images provide a valuable insight into the cultural and artistic landscape of New York City during this period.
Moreover, the release of this collection is particularly significant as it fills a gap in the graffiti history literature. Many of these artists and their works have been overlooked or forgotten, and this collection aims to rectify that by bringing their contributions to the forefront.
In conclusion, the collection of high-quality images from the 1970s and 80s that showcase the works of BMT artists is a significant contribution to graffiti history. It provides a rare glimpse into the cultural and artistic landscape of New York City during the height of the NYC subway graffiti era and offers valuable insight into the lives and careers of these artists. Whether you are a graffiti artist, fan, historian, or student, this collection is a must-have for anyone interested in exploring the rich history of subway art.
