Raymond Pettibon - Aus dem Archiv der Hefte - König 2000

This A-5 sized thick volume contains mostly photocopied fanzines, in which interviews with Minutemen or Black Flag, references to Baudelaire or Pasolini, “Punk Philosophy” alternate with crude picture stories, have been one of the cornerstones of Raymond Pettibon's extraordinary career. The fluid drawings with their youthful, iconoclastic content led the artist, born in 1957, from the American underground into the contemporary art world. Nowadays, his loose editions - usually only published in runs of 30 to 100 copies - are considered exceptionally sought-after rarities. This volume is based on a complete reprint of 32 issues in the original format, including “Tripping Corpse 12” and “Polaroids”, published here for the first time. The catalog raises all of the more than 100 booklets created over a period of 20 years and provides a valuable overview of the development of one of America's most important contemporary artists on 900 pages. Under the dir. of Roberto Ohrt
