There is an exhibit hosted by All Tomorrow's Parties (https://www.atpfestival.com/events/gefexhibition/news/1411041049) (free entry / voluntary donation) running until 18 January 2015 in London, England. Worth checking out as there are some great Beastie Boys, Bad Brains, Jello Biafra, Blag Flag, Ian MacKaye, Public Enemy, Run DMC and Tribe Called Quest photographs. Also, there are amazing examples of skate photography and a filmed chat between MacKaye and Friedman.
His book (http://burningflags.com/books/my-rules-book/) is available along with some pretty dope tees.
What I like about the exhibit is that it nicely captures how punk, skateboarding and hip hop genuinely fit well together in those days. It seems to me that it was a unique period of history that cannot be replicated in any legitimate sense by today's new artists. For example, simply imitating the dress styles and/or those early sounds cannot pull it off authentically. It was a culture bound to a time, place and people, not simply a sound or pair of shoes.
