Reviews
"Street art books are easy to find but ones like City As Canvas are rare. Offering authentic history & deep context, it chronicles the crucial first chapter of the emergence of graffiti & early street art..." ~Werd
"Dwelling in the resplendent squalor of Wong's apartment is precisely the experience the curators Sean Corcoran and Carlo Mc Cormick recreate in City as Canvas, an accounting of Wong's huge personal trove and its place in history, with reflections on the man by his artist friends." ~The New York Times
