About this book

PUNK POSTER IN SAN FRANCISCO by Last, First. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780867193008.

The book reproduces 126 black and white, Xerox and off-set posters, almost all of them advertising bands. The posters are augmented by Marian Kesters witty and offhanded text, which is in turn augmented by snippets of published interviews, articles on subjects like performance art and even excerpts from Walter Benjamins mid-century essay, "Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction." Brad Lapins introductory "15 Theses" provides effective theoretical counterpoint to Kesters more narrative/anecdotal brand of cultural history, by placing the mass-produced punk poster within the context of McLuhan, industrial society and youthful rebellion.
