    Dokument Forlag

    With photos dating back to the 60's, 'Tag Town' introduces us to the origins of New York style graffiti. Tags and pieces share a common heritage and by understanding one, you can understand the other. For those who learn to read tags, a world of aesthetic expression and communication opens up. Tags are a universal language - the jazz of lettering. Includes rare photos of the work of pioneers like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Kenny Scharf and accompanying text based on interviews with graffiti pioneers Blade, Part I and Snake I.
