Sculptural Grafitti: Legendary '90s graffiti artist Revs, who went undercover after his partner Cost's arrest in 1994, is back, but instead of doing graffiti he's creating elaborate, and mostly legal, sculptures out of construction-grade steel and found objects. But as Randy Kennedy writes, he's not interested in the typical path taken by street artists--leveraging street cred to get a graphic design job or gallery respresentation. He shuns the art world, and wouldn't allow his real name to be used in Kennedy's New York Times piece. Echoing Lewis Hyde's thesis that art is part of a gift economy, Revs says, "To me, once money changes hands for art, it becomes a fraudulent activity."
