Phranc is an influential American singer, songwriter and artist. She got her start in the Los Angeles punk scene in the 1970s an 80s, first by fronting the band Nervous Gender. She was also a member of Catholic Discipline and the feminist punk band Castration Squad. Despite rebranding herself as an "All American Jewish lesbian folk singer," she became an influential part of the burgeoning queercore scene in the late 1980s and early 1990s. She has collaborated with members of Team Dresch, Bikini Kill and Hole, and has taken part in queercore festivals. By the early to mid 2000s she was focusing more on art, with the New York Times describing her work as that of Claes Oldenburg and Andy Warhol. Her 2011 West Coast solo exhibition featured cardboard and craft paper works, of which this perhaps prefigures. VERY GOOD condition. Minor toning along the edges, with minor bumping/creasing at the upper right corner.
