‘Pretty Vacant: The Graphic Language of Punk’
Nihilism, Dadaism, and pulp fiction were all thrown into the anarchic do-it-yourself mix of punk visuals. The show has posters and album covers, of course, but also ‘zines, flyers, and buttons advertising punk and post-punk bands, from the B-52s to X-Ray Spex. From the collection of Andrew Krivine.
