The late hip-hop pioneer, seminal graffiti writer, and iconoclast contemporary artist Rammellzee—a legend in his own time to his peers—was a profoundly transformative and influential figure across the art, graffiti, and music worlds.

Rammellzee was an enigmatic yet key figure in the nexus of creative forces that defined New York City’s heady downtown scene in the late 1970s and 1980s. In the first major monograph on the multi-hyphenate artist, his inspired vision and wildly diverse artistic output are considered in depth. The oversize volume presents a treasure trove of material, providing extraordinary insight into his creative genius: a comprehensive selection of artworks (his iconic resin frescoes, paintings, sculpture, and performance paraphernalia), never-before-seen documentation of his graffiti work and performances, archival material, and ephemera. Gathered here for the first time, these materials tell this complex artist’s origin story and details his artistic evolution, cementing Rammellzee’s place in the art historical canon.

Maxwell Wolf, lead curator of the much-lauded retrospective in 2018 on which this book is largely based, and co-editor Jeff Mao convene a historic gathering of the key actors of the time to tell Rammellzee’s extraordinary story in their own words in an extensive oral history. From graffiti writers, artists, musicians, and actors to filmmakers, photographers, gallerists, and family, those close to the late artist—including Toxic, Futura, Lee Quiñones, Charlie Ahearn, Jim Jarmusch, and Henry Chalfant—provide critical context about his life and work. This richly layered volume is a must-have for the legions of Rammellzee fans, as well as enthusiasts of contemporary underground art and culture, “old” New York, graffiti, and the history of hip-hop. Published in association with the Estate of Rammellzee. Major support for the publication provided by Jeffrey Deitch.

About The Author

Maxwell Wolf is a curator, art dealer, and author based in New York. Wolf founded New Canons in 2021, a nomadic curatorial office and art advisory. As the founder and chief curator of Red Bull Arts, an experimental arts space in New York City, he staged major exhibitions of artists such as Gretchen Bender, Mel Chin, Bjarne Melgaard, and Akeem Smith, among many others. Jeff Mao is an author, music journalist and historian, and curator. A longtime member of the creative collective ego trip, with which he has co-written two books, he worked extensively with Red Bull Music Academy as an interviewer and radio and film producer, and was an associate curator for Red Bull Arts’ 2018 exhibition Rammellzee: Racing for Thunder. Jeffrey Deitch has been involved with modern and contempo­rary art for fifty years as an artist, writer, curator, dealer, and advisor.

In 2011, Deitch recreated the legendary Battlestation in collaboration with the artist’s wife Carmela in the exhibition Art in the Streets at MoCA, Los Angeles.

Excellent Protection for Active Kids
The Coppertone Kids Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 70 has become a must-have in our outdoor routine. This sunscreen provides outstanding protection for my child’s skin, and I trust it to keep them safe during long hours outside. Reliable Sun Protection for Kids This sunscreen offers excellent SPF 70 protection, which is ideal for active kids who love being outdoors. I appreciate that it’s designed specifically for children, and it holds up well during activities, even with a lot of sweating or water play. Slightly Thick, but Worth the Effort The only small drawback is that it’s a bit thick, making it a little difficult to squeeze out of the bottle. However, once applied, it absorbs well and doesn’t leave a sticky residue, so it’s worth the minor inconvenience. Final Thoughts Overall, Coppertone Kids Sunscreen Lotion is an effective, reliable option for parents looking to keep their children protected in the sun. Despite the thicker consistency, it’s easy to apply and provides lasting coverage—highly recommended for peace of mind outdoors!

Love this product!
This sunscreen is heavy duty, I use it on my boys when we go to beach (They love to spend hours and hours under the blistering sun) and it out performs other brands and has longer protection than their 50 SPF product.

Sun Safe and Satisfied
Living in Arizona, where the sun reigns supreme, finding a reliable sunscreen for my daughter has been paramount. Our spring and summer are filled with swimming lessons, poolside gatherings, and outdoor adventures. In this sun-drenched setting, Coppertone SPF 70 Sunscreen for Kids has become our go-to sun protection. The standout feature for me is its thick consistency. It’s a parent’s little helper, allowing clear visibility of where the sunscreen is applied to ensure no spot is missed. And the results speak for themselves – my daughter hasn't had a sunburn since we started using it. While she doesn’t have the fairest skin and tends to tan rather than burn, the effectiveness of this sunscreen has been impressive. I’ve even used it on my own skin, particularly on my shoulders, and I'm happy to report no sunburns there either. It’s reassuring to have a product that I can trust for both myself and my child. However, I’m aware of the growing concerns regarding certain sunscreen ingredients and their potential health implications. Coppertone SPF 70 contains a mix of chemical sunscreens like Avobenzone, Homosalate, and Oxybenzone. These ingredients have raised questions in recent years. Some studies suggest that chemical sunscreens can be absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream, leading to potential health risks. Oxybenzone has been under scrutiny for its potential effects on coral reefs and marine life, as well as concerns about hormonal disruption in humans. While these ingredients have been effective in preventing sunburns for us, I understand the importance of making informed choices, especially when it comes to health and wellness. As with any health-related product, I encourage others to research and decide what’s best for their family, considering both the effectiveness of sun protection and the potential impacts of ingredients. In conclusion, Coppertone SPF 70 has been a reliable ally in our family's fight against sunburns. It's a product that offers peace of mind when it comes to sun protection, but mindful consideration of its ingredients is advised for those who are concerned about the broader implications of chemical sunscreens.

Amazing how fast it goes on without the white look!
This stuff is amazing!! I wear baby sunscreen because I rub my eyes a lot, but most of it takes forever to rub in and not look white. This rubs in immediately like any other sunscreen, and it doesn’t burn my eyes at all, not even when I scratch my face and then rub my eyes. So it’s great for small children too, not just 75 yr old ones!

Used for years
I have used this sunscreen since my kids were toddlers. I don’t find it sticky and it turns clear pretty fast. I don’t typically need to reapply on them more than once.
