Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Named a Must-Read Book by W Magazine, Time, and more "Everybody's Fly could comfortably sit alongside books by Richard Price, Lucy Sante, Tom Wolfe, or Ed McBain, chronicling New York from the mid-1970s to the early 1990s with both vivid, journalistic descriptions and the outsized flair from a person who was at the center of it all." -Rolling Stone "An exuberant recounting of how a culturally omnivorous kid from Brooklyn willed himself into the wider, shinier world-like Moss Hart's Act One, but with beatboxing and cans of Krylon spray paint." -The New Yorker An electrifying memoir from the pioneering cultural icon The New Yorker called "the coolest person in New York," whose fearless creativity reshaped the worlds of art, music, and style Fab 5 Freddy doesn't just have a great story-he is the story. Name a seismic cultural shift, and chances are, he wasn't just there-he was helping to make it happen. He's among the first graffiti artists to turn subway tags into fine art, the visionary behind the first hip-hop movie, the bridge between Jean-Michel Basquiat and the downtown new wave scene, the first person to take rap global on MTV, and the opening rhyme of Blondie's number-one smash hit "Rapture"-"Fab 5 Freddy told me everybody's fly"-the song that propelled hip-hop from the New York streets to mainstream culture. With a spirit of joyful creativity and a deep capacity for connecting with kindred spirits (Basquiat, Haring, Lee, Flash, Warhol, and the Clash, to name a few), he shattered racial and artistic boundaries, bridging worlds and raising underground movements to pop culture dominance. Everybody's Fly is a fast-moving, all-access pass to Fred's extraordinary life-one that begins in a book- and jazz-filled Brooklyn home and takes us deep into New York's creative explosions from the 1970s into the 1990s. He didn't just shape culture, he synthesized it-from highbrow to street, the Bronx to the East Village, punk to rap, Warhol to Wild Style. Whether he's skipping school to wander New York City's museums, painting subway cars that became moving masterpieces, or bringing hip-hop to downtown clubs for the first time, Fred's genius has always been in seeing what others couldn't-until he made them see it too. Vibrant, rhapsodic, and compulsively readable, Everybody's Fly is at once an intimate memoir and panoramic cultural history. It is a love letter to the art of seeing, a fascinating account of an inimitable creative life, and a celebration of what it means to shape culture.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. Bruce Davidson's groundbreaking Subway, first published by Aperture in 1986, has garnered critical acclaim both as a documentation of a unique moment in the cultural fabric of New York City and for its phenomenal use of extremes of color and shadow set against flash-lit skin. In Davidson's own words, "the people in the subway, their flesh juxtaposed against the graffiti, the penetrating effect of the strobe light itself, and even the hollow darkness of the tunnels, inspired an aesthetic that goes unnoticed by passengers who are trapped underground, hiding behind masks and closed off from each other." In this third edition of what is now a classic of photographic literature, a sequence of 118 (including 25 previously unpublished) images transport the viewer through a landscape at times menacing, and at other times lyrical and soulful. The images present the full gamut of New Yorkers, from weary straphangers and languorous ladies in summer dresses to stalking predators and homeless persons. Davidson's accompanying text tells the story behind the images, clarifying his method and dramatizing his obsession with the subway, its rhythms and its particular madness.Bruce Davidson (born 1933) is considered one of America's most influential documentary photographers. He began taking photographs when he was ten, and studied at the Rochester Institute of Technology and the Yale University School of Design. In 1958 he became a member of Magnum Photos, and in 1962 he received a Guggenheim Fellowship to document the civil rights movement. After a solo exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art in 1963, Davidson spent two years photographing in Harlem, resulting in the book East 100th Street. In 1980, after living in New York City for 23 years, Davidson began Subway, his startling color essay of urban life. (20111213).…
