When I talk about American Street Art, I’m not talking about today’s artists who create incredible murals, but about those who are part of the history of Street Art: the kings of graffiti. Their names are Lady Pink<\/strong><\/a>, Futura 2000<\/strong><\/a>, Lee Quinones<\/strong><\/a>, Dondi White<\/strong><\/a>, John Matos alias Crash<\/strong><\/a>, TOXIC<\/strong><\/a>, Keith Haring<\/strong><\/a>,… In the 80’s they put their Blazes on the New York subways and coloured the Queens, the Bronx and Brooklyn with their works. I was lucky enough during my travels in New York to come across the works of some of these artists who continue to tirelessly \u00ab\u00a0sign\u00a0\u00bb the city.<\/p>\n John Matos alias Crash au Welling Court Mural Project dans le Queens – 2018 – Copyright : @Altinnov<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n John Matos alias CRASH – Massive A – 1981 – Photo @Ghost Galerie Paris<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As you know, I don’t usually talk about galleries or the art market. Today I’m making an exception to the rule, because having the opportunity to admire works that are an integral part of the history of American street art is a rare thing. What’s more, the way the Ghost Galerie has organised its \u00ab\u00a0Our Ghosts\u00a0\u00bb exhibition is a far cry from the mercantile and duplicative approach of many galleries dedicated to Urban Art.<\/p>![\"Blaze](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/altinnov.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Crash-One.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&ssl=1\")
