Provenance
One of the original kings of graffiti, Tracy 168 was one of the first to create pieces - murals covering whole train cars, top to bottom, and whole trains. Growing bored of bombing the subways by the mid 1970s, Tracy turned to doing legal murals, which allowed him to complete massive pieces relatively undisturbed. Still working today, Tracy 168 is considered by many to be the inventor of Wild Style.
Condition
