“DIAZ . . is a first generation street artist who founded the graffiti writing duo SAMO with Jean-Michel Basquiat in the 1970s, before Basquiat soared to the heights of the art world then flamed out just as quickly, the victim of a heroin overdose at 27. In recent years, Diaz has emerged from Basquiat’s shadow with an extensive series of works that feature fonts used for signage across New York City’s massive subway network…”
