New CHUCK SPERRY LIPSTICK TRACES POSTER


Well like I said earlier, Chuck is a friggin machine. What more can be said, just another badass piece of art here folks.

Chuck Sperry has been asked by Harvard University Press to design the cover of
"Lipstick Traces: A Secret History of The Twentieth Century" by Greil Marcus
His art will grace the cover of the 20th Anniversary Edition.
About the book:

Although the Sex Pistols shape the beginning and the end of the story, Lipstick Traces is not a book about music; it is about a common voice, discovered and transmitted in many forms. Working from scores of previously unexamined and untranslated essays, manifestos, and filmscripts, from old photographs, dada sound poetry, punk songs, collages, and classic texts from Marx to Henri Lefebvre, Marcus takes us deep behind the acknowledged events of our era, into a hidden tradition of moments that would seem imaginary except for the fact that they are real: a tradition of shared utopias, solitary refusals, impossible demands, and unexplained disappearances. Written with grace and force, humor and an insistent sense of tragedy and danger, Lipstick Traces tells a story as disruptive and compelling as the century itself.

"Lipstick Traces" with Sperry's cover will be released - October 15, 2009 - by Harvard University Press

Sperry will silkscreen a very special limited edition poster of the Lipstick Traces art.

Edition of 150 - 23" x 35" in 10 colors

This poster will be released at The Book Expo America in New York City, May 28-31, 2009

And will be available after the Book Expo on June 1, 2009 through www.station4.co.uk
