At the same time, curator Thomas Delamarre says that he isn&#8217;t about to &#8220;hang some canvases on the wall and say, &#8216;That&#8217;s graffiti.&#8217; Graffiti exists because it was born in the street.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The show recounts the art form&#8217;s inexorable spread, from the New York City tenements of the 1970s to the streets of S\u00e3o Paolo in 2009. Pioneers like PHASE 2 and Seen, who by the 1980s were transforming New York subway cars into traveling canvases, here reproduce their works in full scale. Pieces by Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring from the same period reveal graffiti&#8217;s impact on fine art. Rare films and headlines describe the deaths (spray-painting on busy subway lines is hazardous) and municipal cleanup efforts that ended graffiti&#8217;s golden age, at least in New York, by 1989.<\/p>\n<p>[ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.time.com\/time\/travel\/article\/0,31542,1915899,00.html\" target=\"_blank\">click to continue reading at TIME.com<\/a> ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from TIME Magazine When it starts inspiring the motifs that adorn designer handbags, graffiti&#8217;s entr\u00e9e into the world of mainstream culture is no longer in doubt.
