Born and raised in New York City, Leonard Hilton McGurr began his career as a writer in the 1970s under the pseudonym Futura 2000. Considered one of the absolute pioneers of style-writing, his work later expanded into fine art and commercial collaborations with brands like Nike, Supreme, Undercover, Bathing Ape, Stüssy, and Virgil Abloh. Futura: The Artist's Monograph, featured in our Graffiti Books section, chronicles his evolution from tagging subway cars to exhibiting alongside Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat in contemporary galleries, and later collaborating with leading streetwear brands in the '90s. This comprehensive monograph features interviews, unpublished images, and photos from the artist's personal archive, showcasing over forty years of creativity. An essential chapter in the history of contemporary art, fashion, and Urban Culture. Size: 30 x 23,5 cm.
