About the Item

Raymond Pettibon Black Flag, 1981: Rare early Raymond Pettibon Black Flag Punk Flyer - illustrated by Pettibon on the occasion of: Black Flag, Stains, Youth Gone Mad, Caustic Cause, Fear at Devonshire Downs, Sep 11, 1981. An exceptionally rare, well-preserved, post-marked example that is not to be passed upon. Off-set printed punk flyer. 8.5 x 11 inches. Condition: Minor wear commensurate with age & medium; otherwise very good overall vintage condition; stamped and addressed on the reverse. Unsigned from an edition of unknown. Further Background: Before Pettibon gained international recognition in the mid-80s for his skillful marriage of text and drawing, he was an important figure in the Los Angeles alternative scene. Working inside the punk movement, Pettibon’s art from this early period encapsulates the irreverence, intensity, and heightened self-awareness of youth, and chronicles the development of his characteristic violently shadowed and coarse aesthetic. (Source: MOCA, Tuscon). Raymond Pettibon popularized the American punk aesthetic with his designs that captured the riotous and chaotic character of punk such as this rare Black Flag flyer. In your face and rebellious, Black Flag defined American punk with their destructive energy and spontaneity evoked here in the black and white designs, making the portraits reverberate both visually & contextually.
