A visual account of the birth of graffiti and street art, showcasing as-yet-unseen works collected by preeminent artist Martin Wong. Referred to by the New York Times as an artist "whose meticulous visionary realism is among the lasting legacies of New York’s East Village art scene of the 1980s," Martin Wong (1946–1999) was firmly entrenched in the NYC street art world of the late ’70s and ’80s. City as Canvas chronicles the most important chapter in the street art movement and the artists involved. Showcasing Wong’s enormous graffiti art collection, the book contains artwork, photographs, black books, letters, postcards, posters, and flyers made by Wong and his artist friends. The book contains previously unpublished art by famous street artists such as Futura 2000, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Christopher "Daze" Ellis, LA II, Lady Pink, and Keith Haring, to name only a few. City as Canvas traces the origins of urban self-expression and the era of "outlaw" street art in New York, which primed the floodgates for graffiti art to spread worldwide.

Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) was the quintessential artist of post-war New York and one of the most influential creators of twentieth-century America, best known as a painter and graphic artist who paved the way for Pop Art. Robert Rauschenberg's New York takes a deep dive into the artist's engagement with photographs, focusing on his relationship with the city of New York. Seminal early photographs set the stage for the volume, examining the artist's early life and career, and the New York arts scene of the 1950s and early 1960s. Later, the career-defining photographs made by Rauschenberg in New York City between 1979 and 1981 are presented alongside a carefully chosen selection of his paintings and prints that reproduce and repurpose the photographs in new ways. Here, his photographic imagery is seen in a new context, as source material for further artistic creativity and improvisation.
