Tom Warren, Sandra Fabara (Lady Pink), 1982; photograph signed by Warren, 10 x 13 inches.

Lady Pink is the rare woman artist to emerge from the graffiti culture that began to move into galleries in the 1970s and continues advancing today. Photographer Tom Warren’s traveling “Portrait Studio” was an art project designed to provide low-cost portraits for locals living near art spaces like Fashion Moda in the South Bronx, and Semaphore Gallery in the East Village, two venues where Lady Pink also exhibited.
