Abdell's work series/period: New York City period Catalogue contents: A double page spread presents the Bronx Museum of the Arts. The next double page features an article, “Aerosol (R)evolution,” which quickly reviews the history of graffiti, particularly in the Bronx. These pages are followed by a quick history of the "Fun Gallery", written by Patti Astor, a short reflection on the nature of graffiti ("Is it an art or a crime...") by Stephen Powers and 'an excerpt from a 1973 article by Peter Schjeldahl on the recent recognition of graffiti in the art world. The catalog then presents the works for sale with a very short biography of the artists who created them.
