The murals displayed in City Lore’s inaugural exhibition “Moving Murals: Henry Chalfant & Martha Cooper’s All-City Graffiti Archive” are a tribute to the graffiti artists, often from New York City’s outer boroughs, whose work challenged contemporary fine arts standards, even though it was mostly labeled as vandalism. The colorful and bold artworks lit the fuse for the street art and hip-hop explosion, which echoes today. The exhibition features a wall-to-wall mosaic of more than 850 train murals by celebrated American photographers Henry Chalfant and Martha Cooper, whose 1988 book “Subway Art” has become the definitive reference book for the celebrated street art subculture. City Lore Gallery, 56 E. First St., Lower East Side., noon to 6 p.m. Free.
