Please go see this new exhibition of my good friend Lisa Leone’s amazing photographs of the early hip hop scene, the artists and NYC in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. The photographs are intimate and document a time when many of these artists were unknown and or young and still unaware of the camera. Lisa was truly part of the scene and the images are historical and personal. I am so happy for Lisa and proud of her too. This exhibition of these rarely scene photographs is a project she has long wanted to do and I was so sorry to miss the opening ( which was apparently amazing – see the link to the pictures of the party below ) but thrilled to see the show today with her and get the catalog which is beautifully printed by The Icon as are all the prints. Tyler Gibney the co-founder and curator of the gallery is there most days form 1PM – 6 PM but call first if you want to make sure to catch him on 323-788-4898. The gallery is on Spaulding just off of Melrose. Check it out until June 10th!
