Oh So Pretty: Punk in Print 1976-80

Oh So Pretty: Punk in Print 1976-80 is an unrivaled collection of visually striking ephemera from Britain’s punk subculture. It presents 500 artifacts — 'zines, gig posters, flyers, and badges— from well-known and obscure musical acts, designers, venues, and related political groups. While punk was first and foremost a music phenomenon, it reflected a DIY spirit and recognizable aesthetic that was as strident and irrepressible as the music. The illustrated archive tells a story about music, history, class, and art, and documents a seismic shift in society and visual culture.
