John"Crash" Matos Art
American, b. 1961
Born John Matos in 1961, CRASH was raised in the Bronx, New York. At the age of 13, he began following the older teens from his neighborhood to the train yards and began bombing. Taking the name “CRASH” after he accidentally crashed the computer in his school, his name began appearing on trains circulating all throughout New York City. By 1980, he began transitioning from train yards to galleries. He curated the groundbreaking "Graffiti Art Success for America" at Fashion MODA, launching the graffiti movement that has remained very active through today. CRASH’s career took off and he saw instant popularity throughout Europe and America, and eventually Asia. CRASH has been part of numerous museum and gallery shows around the world focusing on Graffiti and Street Art, and has works in many permanent museum collections. Visually iconic, he has partnered with many companies for projects including Absolut Vodka, Fender Guitars, SoBella Handbags, Levi’s, and most recently, Tumi luggage and Morphik. He continues to work and show both locally and internationally. Enjoy the awe and power of CRASH! to

- What is Banksy's real identity?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024No one knows Banksy's real identity. Over the course of his career, Banksy has managed to remain anonymous. To do so, he has delegated his business affairs, such as sales and authentication, to the company Pest Control. Banksy's continued anonymity is also made possible by his tendency to place his work in out-of-the-way areas and his style, which allows him to make his art quickly. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of Banksy art.
