A-One (Anthony Clarke)
(American, 1964–2001)
Biography
A-One, a pseudonym for Anthony Clark, was a legendary American graffiti artist. Born in 1964 in New York, NY, he began tagging in subway cars during the mid-1970s. Inspired by contemporary Black culture as well as his friend Jean-Michel Basquiat, A-One rose to prominence within the street art and contemporary art scenes. He notably developed an aesthetic that was looser than his fellow Manhattan compatriots such as DAZE, and joined a group of artists known as the “Tag Master Killers,” which included Rammellzee, Toxic, and Delta 2. In 1982, he participated in a landmark graffiti exhibition in the South Bronx and subsequently was included the 1984 Venice Biennale, of which he was the youngest participant. A-One would go on to be the subject of numerous solo exhibitions, such as Galleria Salvatore + Caroline Ala in Milan, the Piccolo Museum in Lecce, and Galerie Quintessens in Utrecht. Later in his life, he moved to Paris, where he continued to work until his death from an unexpected brain hemorrhage on November 11, 2001. He was 37.
