Taki 183 was one of the first graffiti artists to gain widespread recognition, partly due to the ubiquity of his writing and partly due to the New York Times article written about him in 1971. He inspired a generation of writers to leave their mark on the city, as well as created a template for many future pseudonyms ("Taki" is short for the Greek version of his name and 183 is the street he lived on; some writers mimicked this format).
