  • Raymond Pettibon 1980s illustration art (early Raymond Pettibon)
    By Raymond Pettibon
    Located in NEW YORK, NY
    Raymond Pettibon, "No Mag,'" 1981: A rare late 70's/early 80's Los Angeles Punk scene publication featuring several stand out illustrations by Raymond Pettibon Medium: Newspaper magazine, offset printed. Minor aging to cover commensurate with age & medium; otherwise very good condition; well-preserved. Dimensions: 14 × 11 inches (closed). Publisher: No Magazine, Los Angeles, 1981. Rare; unsigned from an edition unknown. Well-suited for framing. NO MAG: Los Angeles, CA, 1978 - 1985: Bruce Kalberg's No Mag brought a subversive art-driven perspective to early Los Angeles punk publications. Though only 14 issues were published, No Mag is considered, as Pettibon is, a seminal part of Southern California punk history. Catalogue MoMa, The Eileen and Michael Cohen Collection Raymond Pettibon emerged from Southern California DIY culture and its punk-rock sensibility, and his work still embraces a youthful edginess and sense of political engagement. Drawing from disparate cultural sources—which range from Marcel Proust and William Blake to the Bible—the artist makes cartoon-inspired ink drawings on paper which evoke the aesthetics of fanzines and concert flyers. Baseball players, trains, crashing waves, political figures, and comic book characters make frequent appearances, often accompanied by cryptic, ironic snippets of handwritten text. Pettibon has been the subject of solo shows at the New Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, and the Kunsthalle Wien. He has exhibited at the Venice Biennale, Documenta, and the Whitney Biennial, where he was the recipient of the Bucksbaum Award in 2004. On the secondary market, Pettibon’s work has sold for over $1 million. Alongside his fine-art practice, Pettibon has illustrated album art for Sonic Youth and Black Flag, among other musical acts.

Provenance: Collection Robert William Burke, Paris Private Collection. Further Background: "Most Wanted Men No. 11, John Joseph H., Jr — is the artist’s haunting reminder of the dark underside of America during a time when, outwardly at least, the country was projecting a confident, forward-looking culture. Like any good detective story, the origins of Andy Warhol’s Most Wanted series involve a series of dramatic twists and turns. At the beginning of 1963, the architect Philip Johnson approached Andy Warhol, along with Ellsworth Kelly, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Indiana, Peter Agostini, John Chamberlain, James Rosenquist, Robert Mallary, and Alexander Lieberman, to create a mural-sized work to adorn the outside of the Panoramic Cinema Theater, a centrepiece of the New York State Pavilion at the World’s Fair, which was to be held the following year. Warhol decided to reproduce, on a monumental scale, 13 mugshots of various criminals taken from a booklet entitled The Thirteen Most Wanted Men produced by the New York Police Department. Some of the mugshots were..., that the NYPD considered to be its most dangerous criminals. Warhol’s exact reasons for choosing this subject matter are unclear. According to John Giorno, a member of the artist’s inner circle, the idea came from the painter Wynn Chamberlain, whose lover at the time was an NYPD officer who, according to Giorno, ‘obtained’ a large envelope filled with various crime photos, mug shots and archival photographs which he passed on to Warhol. Of the mugshots that Warhol selected, the one of John Joseph Henehan Jr. is perhaps the most enigmatic... with his good looks and chiselled features, Henehan wouldn’t have looked out of place in one of the era’s teen heart-throb magazines. This outward appearance, however, hides a darker, violent character, evidenced by the description of Henehan’s crime in the original police booklet. On 28 February, 1959, Henehan Jr. and three accomplices walked into a liquor store in Queens, New York, and robbed the cashier at gunpoint. They took $350 from the register, $70 from the store owner and $450, a watch and a ring from an unlocked safe. Henehan was a familiar face to his local police precinct as three years previously, aged 19, he had been arrested in possession of a gun and given parole. Two years later he was arrested again, this time for the possession of a small amount of heroin and drug paraphernalia, but was later acquitted. Indicted for the Queens robbery of the liquor store by a grand jury, he absconded before the trial and was wanted by the F.B.I. on a charge of unlawful flight from custody. As such, the Thirteen Most Wanted Men series was controversial from the start. Later in 1964, Warhol made a series of nearly two dozen larger than life-size canvases featuring 13 of these ‘most wanted’ men, many of which were exhibited at the Sonnabend Gallery in Paris in 1967. Part of this important series, Most Wanted Men No. 11, John Joseph H., Jr. is one of only six subjects that Warhol made in two versions, with the other housed in the permanent collection of the Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt am Main. Despite its dark subject matter, Most Wanted Men No. 11, John Joseph H., Jr. also falls squarely within Andy Warhol’s Pop vernacular. Just as he did with his paintings of Liz Taylor, Campbell’s Soup cans and Coca-Cola bottles, Warhol seeks to embrace the entire range of Americana." (source: Christies) _ Obsessed with celebrity, consumer culture, and mechanical reproduction, Pop Art king, Andy Warhol created some of the 20th century’s most iconic images. Warhol was widely influenced by popular & consumer culture, with this being evident in some of his most famous works: 32 Campbell's soup cans, Brillo pad box sculptures, and portraits of Marilyn Monroe & Mick Jagger, for example. Rejecting the standard painting and sculpting modes of his era, Warhol embraced silk-screen printmaking to achieve his characteristic hard edges and flat areas of color. The artist mentored Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat and continues to influence contemporary art around the world: His most bold successors include Richard Prince, Takashi Murakami, and Jeff Koons. Warhol has been the subject of exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Museum of Modern Art, Tate Modern, and Centre Pompidou, among other institutions.
