"A modest, but astonishing book on the graffiti culture of East LA in the early 1970s was my most exciting discovery in the preparation of "Art in the Streets," the exhibition that Roger Gastman, Aaron Rose and I curated for the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles in 2011... Nearly forty years after it was made, Gusmano Cesaretti's work remains fresh and revelatory. Looking at his images, we are still entering a secret world. Gusmano's special rapport with his subjects that allowed him such direct access also remains after the passage of four decades." Fine condition.
