RAYMOND PETTIBON: SURFERS 1985-2014: ARE YOUR MOTIVES PURE? with texts by Adam Lindemann and Carlo McCormick

Venus Over Manhattan, 2014, First edition, 102 pp., 8 1/2" X 11", Softcover with dust jacket Very good with a bump to top right corner, affecting text block. (please see photos) Unlike the free spirits depicted in this 25-year survey of Raymond Pettibon s paintings and watercolors on paper, the artist and former L.A. punk-scene habitué doesn t actually surf. But in a more metaphorical sense, he has spent his career riding the dark waves of the historical and psychological realities that break upon the American Dream.
