Golden Boy As Anthony Cool

(1972)

An early study of modern urban graffiti. Focusing on walls, bathrooms, and political vandalism, the book also includes early consideration of gang graffiti. There are also mentions of the Young Lords and the Black Panthers, and the ties between those organizations and the kids who helped create tagging.

A thoughtful work, beautifully laid out. Scarce, and an important document of the study of graffiti. Photographed by James Hinton.
