REVEALED: Limited Edition Graffiti History Posters

Here it is: the Sneak Preview of the four Limited Edition Graffiti Posters.

They were printed back in 1988 by Offset Printing Company “De Grafische Haarlem” in The Netherlands.

The original masterworks are part of a famous big Dutch New York Graffiti Collection and have been part of some of the big graffiti museum shows during the eighties and nineties (like Museum Boymans van Beuningen The Netherlands, Museum Louisiana Denmark, Museum Ludwig Germany, Groninger Museum The Netherlands, etc.).

As such they mark a significant moment in the development of the artists and of the graffiti movement as a whole, as in the eighties the graffiti writers started to evolve their work from the subway into the artworld.

The involved collector has documented this period and the development of the artists and their individual styles in these four posters that give a highly detailed representation of the original artworks.

Collectors can pre-registrate for launch date on a Priority Notification List on http://www.thegraffiticollection.com .
