Punk Art.

Illustrated poster, silkscreened in heavy black ink on good paper. Sheet is 26 x 20 in ; image is 18.5 x 13 in. 50 or fewer copies are known to have been printed.

An excellent copy, obtained directly from flat file storage by the exhibition curator, Marc Miller. Minor mar-ginal toning, else near fine. Miller tells us that this poster was created by students in Al Brunele's printmaking workshop at School of Visual Arts in vanishingly small numbers, advertising an exhibition of works by "Diego Cortez, John Holmstrom, M. Henry Jones, Robert Mapplethorpe, Ruth Marten, Miller-Ringma-Hoppe, Pat Place, Screaming Mad George, Arturo Vega, and more…" Originally presented in D.C. with Washington Project for the Arts from May 10-June 15, 1978, Punk Art was staged at SVA's amphitheater in New York City as a one-night-only, multimedia event in November 1978. The exhibition resurfaced in June of 1979 as an exhibition at Art Something gallery in Amsterdam, Holland. It is widely acknowledged to have been one of the first group art exhibitions to have been curated from the point-of-view of punk aesthetics.
