Gary Panter (The Book)
While we certainly had some sympathy for those who felt that this
amazing volume was simply too dear, there's no longer any excuse.
The
definitive career-spanning collection of the one and only Gary Panter
is now available for a price so low that the mind simply boggles.
Now's your chance to experience the first and foremost fomenter of the
fine-art/comics nexus in all his glory in this massive, oversized,
two-volume hardcover for less than the price of a fistful of new
comics. This book is so well designed that it is practically a work of
art in itself! And, needless to say, as a gift, this will impress
the
pants off just about anyone.
"An intimate look at the work and life of a legendary artist. Gary
Panter has been one of the most influential figures in visual culture
since the mid-1970s. From his era-defining punk graphics to his cartoon
icon Jimbo to his visionary design for Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, he has left
his mark on every medium he’s touched. Working in close collaboration
with the artist, PictureBox has assembled the definitive volume on
Panter’s work from the early 1970s to the present. This monumental,
slipcased set is split into two 344-page volumes. The first is a
comprehensive monograph featuring over 700 images of paintings,
drawings, sculptures, posters and comics, alongside essays by Robert
Storr, Mike Kelley, Edwin Pouncey, Richard Klein, Richard Gehr, Karrie
Jacobs and Byron Coley, as well a substantial commentary by the artist
himself. The second volume features a selection from Panter’s
sketchbooks–the site of some of his most audacious work–most of which
has never been published in any form.
A three-time Emmy Award-winner for his production design on Pee-Wee’s
Playhouse and the recipient of the 2000 Chrysler Award for Design
Excellence, graphic artist Gary Panter has drawn inspiration from
diverse vernacular and traditional art arenas over the course of the
past four decades. Closely associated with the underground comics and
music scenes on both coasts, he is responsible for designing the
Screamers iconic 1970s poster, many record covers for Frank Zappa, the
Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Residents and the ongoing comic character
Jimbo. Most recently Panter has performed psychedelic light shows at
the Hirschhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. and at New York’s Anthology
Film Archives. He was a featured artist in the major 2006-2007 touring
exhibition, Masters of American Comics."
