Just like that, TAKI 183 became a graffiti legend, with rumors spreading that he even tagged a Secret Service car and the Statue of Liberty. Amid all the rumors, TAKI 183 remained silent. Now, almost four decades later, TAKI 183 has emerged to tell his story.
This site includes photos of TAKI 183's work, images of his friends and contemporaries, his true story and, for the first time, official TAKI 183 limited-edition screenprints.
