Futura: The Artist's Monograph — book description Futura: The Artist's Monograph is the most comprehensive monograph released by the prestigious Rizzoli publishing house, documenting more than forty years of the career of one of the most groundbreaking pioneers of the original New York graffiti wave.

The publication features never‑before‑published reproductions of paintings, drawings, private photographic archives, and interviews with key figures from the artist’s life. Discover the authentic story of the legend who reshaped contemporary art and street culture.
