However, it was only upon reading Hilton Als’s White Girls(which is phenomenal if I may say so) that I developed more than a casual interest in the work and life of this artist. His books in the art section are big, demonstrative, and beautiful, making them easy to get lost in if you’re on lunch break with no lunch left to eat. The famed avant-garde street artist and painter created some of the most recognizable and impactful art of the twentieth century, but I, of course, only became familiar with his work after spending time on the second floor of BookPeople.
