WHOLESALE Rare & Unseen Moments of 90’s: Hip Hop Collectors Edition-T Dot Eric

Monroe's iconic portfolio was removed from digital distribution, laying dormant for 25+ years. After years of retrieving and curating the images, Monroe is now sharing his body of work, initially in his first three books, "Rare & Unseen Moments of 90's Hiphop Volume One - Three."

Now he has combined the three volume, added more stories, unseen images into one amazing book. It is a time capsule of intimate moments with iconic artists, this collection immortalizes the legends who shaped Hiphop culture as we know it.

First International Gallery Showing

Wednesday, January 24, 2024, Banartmann in association with Campari & P2 Cocktail Bar opened the gallery exhibition experience of T. Eric Monroe's Photography “Rare & Unseen Moments of 90’s HipHop” at Boutique Verdun in Montréal, Quebec, Canada.

The exhibition brought together so many people from all walks of life: art collectors, skaters, bankers, city officials, generations of Family, independent artist, and most of all, fans of 90’s Hiphop.

The work on display brought the viewer back to a time that they were able to relate to. The photographs offered an intimate, personal look inside the Hip Hop artists’ personal life. Seeing an unguarded, personal side of the artist that is often reserved for Family and close friends.

The images give a firsthand perspective to a time whewere just starting their careers in the early-to-mid 1990’s. You feel the passion, the struggle, the perseverance that made the artists music stand the test of time.
