Authoritative, eye-popping, and massive, 'Art Of Modern Rock' is the first and last word on contemporary concert posters. An art form that has grown hand-in-hand with the independent music scene, heralding small and large gigs alike, the posters have emerged from visually creative street-level notices to prized collectible rendered in a variety of styles and media.
Today's poster artists combine the expressive freedom pioneered in the poster revolution of the 1960s with the attitude and the do-it-yourself approach of the punk scene, creating an unprecedented surge of innovative poster production on an international scale. Featuring over 1,600 exemplary rock posters and flyers from over 200 international studios and artists, 'Art of Modern Rock' is the long-anticipated sequel to co-author Paul Grushkin's 'The Art Of Rock'.
Profiles and quotes from the pioneers in the field and their emerging heirs share nearly 500 gloriously packed pages of poster after mind-blowing poster. As brash and colourful as the burgeoning scene it documents, 'Art Of Modern Rock' is the must-have book for music and poster fans and collectors.
