Futura-ism is a collection of fascinating quotations from the living legend Futura—a world-renowned painter, designer, and photographer who was a pioneer of graffiti art and New York City’s “subway school.” His radical abstract work in the street and on canvas established him as a central figure in an important art movement that included Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Rammellzee, Lee Quiñones, and Dondi White. Gathered from four decades of interviews and panel discussions, this memorable selection illuminates Futura’s thoughts on legal and illegal art, his influences, fellow artists, and the past, present, and future.

At Misc Store we also carry the ISMs titles from a range of other artists and designers, including Pharrell-isms, Abloh-isms, Haring-isms and Basquiat-isms.
