1980s
Even though there was a crackdown by the MTA, subway art continued in this decade and some artists were getting some serious acclaim and validation in the more traditional art world. Brooklyn-born Fab 5 Freddy was part of the Fabulous 5 Crew and gained a lot of fame in the early 80s with his subway paintings of Warhol's Campbell soup cans. He's also featured in the music video for Blondie's "Rapture" which is a ridiculous song that I know a lot about because it used to be featured on VH!'s "Pop-Up Videos" in the 90s. Also, Basquiat is in that video. Which, is pretty incredible.
