In 1973, in an apartment building in the Bronx, Clive Campbell—stage name: DJ Kool Herc—and his sister, Cindy, put on a “Back to School Jam” party in the building’s rec room. Boys paid 50 cents for entry, girls paid 25. It wasn’t just any party. As Kool Herc has said, it was a party that “would change the world.” Hip-hop was invented then and there, at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue. It’s 50 years later and rap has not only been absorbed into the mainstream, bringing with it a revolution in style, but into the world of fine arts as well. To celebrate its anniversary, works by Derrick Adams, Mark Bradford, and the late Virgil Abloh for Louis Vuitton are brought together to celebrate hip-hop’s influence on contemporary society. —Elena Clavarino
