Technique: Rub ground, graphite on paper, West St. between Milton and Noble St. Brooklyn, New York
Legend (Legend) is a rubbing of a steel plate located on the sidewalk and signed, with welding, with a tag made by the artist REVS, the grafitti artist most prolific and elusive of his generation, a legend street of the city of New York who works in a variety of mediums including spray paint, rollers and welding. Her constant taking of space and boundaries, and their persistent transgression, his defiant individuality in a space as amended, crammed with advertising messages that call to settle, to buy and to obey, is the work alive and in constant evolution, leaving its history for streets and tunnels for decades.
