Tag Town: The Evolution of New York Graffiti Writing 1963 – 1982
From Taki to Basquiat: discover the roots of New York graffiti in Martha Cooper’s iconic photos.
While graffiti has grown into the largest art movement in history, for every writer it began with their tag, the essential core of the art form.
In Tag Town, renowned documentary photographer Martha Cooper traces New York City’s distinctive style writing from the 1970s through the early 1980s, capturing the development of tagging as the foundation of modern graffiti writing. Her photographs open the door to understanding the culture’s aesthetics and communication.
The book includes rare street pieces by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, and Kenny Scharf, whose early work helped shape the rise of street art, as well as quotes from graffiti pioneers Blade and Snake 1. Long out of print since its first release in 2008, this photographic chronicle explores the evolution of styles, signatures, and street presence offering a vital historical record of urban creativity in public space.
Before street art went global, it all started with a tag.

Publikat is back – with a true banger! And who better to kick off the relaunch than BATES? The Scandinavian graffiti legend has been active since 1984 and is one of the few who never stopped. His last book came out in 1998 – now a rare collector’s item found in graffiti libraries worldwide.
With GRAFFITI BLACKBOOKS – BATES (A4, 208 pages, softcover), Publikat launches a new series dedicated entirely to the usually hidden sketchbooks of graffiti writers. Building on the iconic Blackbook Sessions, this new line goes deeper than ever: each volume focuses on a single artist and reveals the full spectrum of their stylistic universe.
BATES stands at the very top of style writing. Known for his masterful letter styles, he now presents something truly special: his private sketches. Raw, authentic, and full of energy – marked with paint, covered in spray dust, annotated with quick notes, folded, worn, or weathered. A rare look into his process and his relentless dedication to style.
Some pages even show the sketch next to the finished wall piece, offering a unique chance to study how ideas transfer from paper to concrete, and how flow, structure, or details evolve.
The book also includes personal reflections by BATES on his sketches, his letters, and his understanding of style writing.
“Sketching remains the key to stylewriting,” BATES emphasizes. “Developing a style always begins on paper.”
Releasing December 2025, GRAFFITI BLACKBOOKS – BATES opens the vault on decades of unseen work. A must-have for graffiti enthusiasts, collectors, and fans of contemporary urban art.

2001. After a decade of railway graffiti, Opak and the SDK crew stop painting trains in France, caught up in the legal system.
Twelve years later, SNCF accelerates the scrapping of the country’s most beautiful trains and officially announces the death of the famous “petits gris.”
That’s the trigger—Opak goes on a quest to paint all these legendary trains one last time. In the form of a logbook, Olivier Scuro reveals in the first volume of Painted Graves the details of this adventure and its origins in the 1990's.
At the time, the most talented graffiti writers from the international scene join them on their missions. Among them, Risk (Finland), Stone (France), Remo (Switzerland), Math (Netherlands), Nesh (Austria), Choc (Belgium), Ruzd (Germany), and Aone (USA)… All passed away at the height of their passion.
In Painted Graves Volume 2, Olivier Scuro keeps digging into graffiti archives and pays tribute to friends lost too soon: travels, flashbacks, and the quest that comes to an end.
Most of these trains—painted or not—have now disappeared as well.
248 pages featuring Opak, Risk, Stone, Remo, Math, Nesh, Choc, Ruzd and Aone, but also Kaos, Micro, Lyte, Sharp, Rough, Jiwee, Inxs, Pum, Honet, Riot, Foe, Vino…

Whole Car Poetry is a very special project, or rather, let's say that it is undoubtedly a unique work of its kind. It tells (through images) the unbridled passion for wholecars of a writer very well known in the Italian scene of graffiti on trains, Hepo.
The title of the book makes one think of poetry but perhaps it would be more representative to imagine these texts as a rap text without music, given the themes, the words and the world to which these lines are addressed. At a first glance this parallelism might seem far-fetched but it is instead of fundamental importance to be able to enjoy the writer in question. Among the writers that accompany Hepo in some of the photos of the many wholecar and wholetrain published we find Ciak, Humen, Hekto and others. The photos, needless to say, are really beautiful. From the texts you can recognise an uncommon talent.
Intro signed by Trota and Danno of Colle der Fomento. A beautiful book at a very honest price. Recommended!
