Product Description
With an eye for style, Sutherland captures all of the gritty glory and glamour of the graffiti world and its warriors. Collected for the first time in Autograf: New York City’s Graffiti Writers, Sutherland presents a never-before-seen chronicle of the people and places that populate New York’s famed graf scene. Featuring old-school legends FUTURA, STAY HIGH 149, LADY PINK and DOZE, as well as new-school writers COPE 2, CLAW, KR, CYCLE, KAWS, SACER, EARSNOT, SERF, RATE, CINIK, UFO, and DSENSE, among many others, each one of the fifty-three portraits is authentically tagged by the individual writers using the same paint markers that brought them fame. Complemented by one hundred sixty landscape photographs and featuring handwritten text by legendary recluse REVS, Autograf is the only book to showcase New York City’s graffiti scene as it was created and defined by some of the most prolific artists of our time.

tagging and bombing, 15 July 2004
By j.nut - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Autograf New York Citys Graffiti Writers (Hardcover)
graffiti gets a bad rap for polluting our visual landscape throughout the world. who are these so-called criminals? city officials spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year trying to remove this art when they could better spend that money on educating our youth. what motivates these individuals to bomb public surfaces, yet there is no face to the tag?peter sutherland reveals the mysteries behind today's NYC tag-and-bomb scene by photographing the sources. the portraits are well crafted in composition, lighting, and context. on top of that, each artist has tagged his/her own portraits. sutherland has taken an original idea and elevated photography to a higher art form by revealing the diverse personalities, demeanor and emotions of these artists. definitely a book that everyone should add to their collections!

alright, 8 Oct 2007
By Scott Debb "hockeynut4298" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Autograf New York Citys Graffiti Writers (Hardcover)
Basically an ok book for the ny scene. Not much in the way of content though. Not much pieces, mostly local bombing and pics of some of the writers with their eyes blurred.

great idea for a book!!, 7 Jun 2004
By Dar Meshi - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Autograf New York Citys Graffiti Writers (Hardcover)
peter sutherland came up with a great idea: take portraits of nyc's best graf artists and then have them tag over their photos! genius! I always wondered what these people look like and now I get a glimpse. glimpse is a fairly appropriate word here because in many of the pics the subjects have obscured their faces in a variety of creative ways. in my opinion this is what takes the project from great to outstanding!! genius...sheer genius!!check this book out if you get a chance. and if you see peter around nyc give him a big hug and thank him for his creativity...he's making the world better every day.
