RAYMOND PETTIBON
London and New York: Phaidon, 2001. First Edition. Wraps. Inscribed by Raymond Pettibon to Los Angeles art collector Barry Sloane on the front flyleaf. Outstanding survey of Raymond Pettibon's art, from his early flyers for the influential punk band Black Flag through his more recent political work, including much unpublished material. Includes an interview conducted by poet and novelist Dennis Cooper who speaks with the artist about recurring interests, among them baseball, literature, and surfing. Curator Robert Storr discusses in his Survey the full scope of Pettibon's prolific career, examining the context of 1960s-80s California culture and the work's rich variety of visual and textual references. Ulrich Loock, who curated Pettibon's first retrospective in 1995, looks at a single image from Pettibon's oeuvre: a drawing of the loudmouth cartoon character Vavoom. Quarto: 160 pp. with more than 300 illustrations, including many in color. Original printed white paper wrappers. Just a hint of edgewear; else fine in a fine dust jacket. Fine / Fine. Item #78247
