One of Fashion Moda’s most significant contributions was its role in connecting the graffiti artists living in the city’s boroughs with the downtown fine arts world. This poster embodies a key moment in this important history. It publicizes GAS, the very first graffiti show at Fashion Moda held in October 1980. Organized by Johnny CRASH Matos, GAS featured Futura, John Fekner, Lady Pink, Lee, Zephyr and other leading street artists. Like all the posters featured at Gallery 98, this is an original from the period.
