6. COST and REVS
COST and REVS are known as two of New York’s most creative graffiti writers of all time. Between 1993 and 1995, the duo was omnipresent around the Big Apple with rollers, murals, stickers and posters. COST and REVS took their work one step further than most graffiti artists at the time; they decided to engage with the public, doing so by providing a telephone number on their pieces of artwork. The phone number led to an answering machine where they would rant on the recording and people could leave a response. Although COST was arrested and his identity revealed, REVS has managed to stay anonymous. The two are considered landmarks in street art history for their visual domination of New York City which influenced countless artists.
