“I painted over 100 whole cars, end to end, top to bottom,” he said, noting that the process could take seven to eight hours, all under cover of darkness. “People didn’t realize this was an art movement literally under your feet.” Luckily, even though the train car paintings were fleeting, Quiñones had the foresight—and the faith in his own creativity—to save the preparatory drawings for those works.Quiñones’s booth at Independent—which he considers a “prelude” to the museum retrospective he one day hopes to have—features a selection of original pencil sketches and limited edition reproductions of a pair of full color drawings now owned by the Museum of the City of New York.
“These are confessions of me lifting records to sell on the street,” Quiñones said, pointing to the ghostly hands that appear behind each album, tucking them into his jacket. “What’s special about these is that it represents the hip-hop movement in its infancy.”Work by Dorothy Antoinette “Toni” LaSelle on view with Inman Gallery, Houston, at the Independent 20th Century fair at the Battery Maritime Building.
