If the graffiti movement has its roots in the late 60s and especially in 1972/1974, and despite some exhibitions with little media coverage, the exhibition at the Sidney Janis Gallery can be considered one of the great firsts in the established world of contemporary art. Organized in December 1983, it brought together a large number of pioneers of New York graffiti: Lee Quinones, Lady Pink, Futura 2000, Rammellzee, Daze, A-One, Crash… but also artists gravitating around such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring or Marc Brasz. Rare testimony to the entry of graffiti into the institutional scene.
