Punk Art History

More about the book

The punk movement is explored as a significant art movement, emphasizing its rejection of traditional progress narratives. Through interviews with key figures and analysis of personal archives, the book delves into various media, including performances, street art, and exhibitions like the Prostitution show in London. Central to the narrative is the concept of punks identifying as "rear-guards," challenging the avant-garde's notions of progression. The author's engaging style makes this work appealing not only to scholars but also to anyone interested in punk culture and urban history.
