Praise for the Too Fast To Live Too Young To Die exhibition: "A
fascinating look at how punk and new wave music met the eye" New
York Times "An absolute joy" Financial Times The largest unique
collection of printed memorabilia from the punk and post-punk
movements. Andrew Krivine began collecting punk memorabilia in 1977
when punk exploded onto the scene. Since then, Andrew has amassed
one of the world s largest collection of punk graphic design and
memorabilia. This book features a carefully curated selection of
over 650 posters, club flyers, record covers and adverts from the
collection. Together they represent the prime years of punk which
changed the world of graphic design forever with its do-it-yourself
aesthetics. The artworks are put into context by graphic design
experts, academics and commentators. Among them former art director
of New York Times Steven Heller, reader in graphic design at the
London College of Communication Dr Russ Bestley, graphic design
writer Rick Poynor, designer Malcolm Garrett and Pulitzer
Prize-winning editor Michael Wilde. The book spans the growth and
evolution of punk on both sides of the Atlantic including The
Clash, The Buzzocks, Iggy Pop and The Stooges, Television, The
Ramones, Patti Smith, Talking Heads, Devo, Blondie, Flying Lizards,
Public Image Ltd, The Only Ones, The Slits, New Order, REM and Joy
Division. A collectable item itself, the book is beautifully
produced with front and back cover artwork by Malcolm Garrett and
Peter Saville, the designers behind some of punk s most memorable
album covers. Arguably the most essential and final work on the
graphic design revolution within the punk and post-punk movements
of the UK and America, Too Fast To Live Too Young To Die will
appeal to punk fans and graphic designers alike. Part of Andrew s
collection is currently touring the world as the Too Fast To Live
Too Young To Die exhibition and has been on display at the Museum
of Arts and Design in New York among other museums.
