About the Author:
Raymond Pettibon is a California-based artist whose comic-like illustrations, complete with captions, have won him a large following among fans of Pop Art. His extremely rare self-published books are highly sought after by collectors, and his work has been exhibited in recent years in solo shows at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and The Renaissance Society in Chicago. He has also illustrated album covers for rock groups including Sonic Youth and Black Flag. Pettibon was born in Tucson, Arizona in 1957.
Review:
“Raymond Pettibon surveys the splenetic drawings of another disaffected son of Southern California.” ~BookForum Magazine
“Pettibon’s drawings are a world unto themselves, or rather a reflection of and reaction to the world as he sees it...It’s an impressive tome, heavy, beautifully printed, and slipcased.” ~Style Zeitgeist
“26 Best Coffee Table Books of 2013. This slip-cased volume, is, to date, the definitive collection of the darling of the contemporary LA art scene. Spanning thirty years, from his punk band flyers of the ‘70’s to his current countercultural political art, as well as previously unpublished material.” ~The Daily Beast
