In 1983, most New Yorkers didn’t know who Keith was but they loved him.  When Art in Transit came out in ’84 they put it together.  Keith, Kwong, Dan Friedman and I edited down 5000 photos of the subway drawings and handed Harmony Books camera-ready mechanicals so they wouldn’t have to do anything and they didn’t.  Exasperated, Keith bought the entire run, which was the ballast for The Pop Shop.  It sold out.  Out-of-print copies in VG+ condition sell for upwards of $100 and are here in stock.  My copy, inscribed by the artist and photographer, is not for sale.

Thank-you, Julia Gruen, for reminding me of this memorable blast from the past.
