Raymond Pettibon: A Reader
Out of stock
$22.00
Raymond Pettibon is famed for the breadth and depth of his reading: his art draws on it (excuse pun) at every turn. This anthology of Pettibon’s favorite authors assembles an eclectic mix, from Charles Baudelaire to Borges, and Charles Manson to Mickey Spillane. Pettibon’s choice of literary resources opens up interesting angles on his work, and his transformation of those resources is fascinating. “There is something in my storyteller’s art that wants to put the reader and the writer on equal footing in the role of the creator,” Pettibon says; the Pettibon Reader assists his fans in that endeavor.
This book is in Good readable condition. It has been read and may show some age & wear to the wraps/boards, or light creasing/wear to the pages. The binding may show very minimal wear, or be fully intact. Generally, most wear will solely be superficial.
*This came from a former professor’s collection, who used low-tack post-it notes to bookmark/annotate his books. Most of them have been removed, however it is possible that a stray few were overlooked. If this is the case, they are both unobtrusive and easily removable. Additionally, there may be annotations. In most, however not all cases, they are solely in the introduction/foreword. Any clarifying questions should be emailed to tornlight@gmail.com*
*Image in the listing is stock. There may be variation in the actual product.
