aka Stuck-Up Piece of Crap
by DB Burkeman with Monica LoCascio
(Due out Sept 14th 2010 on Rizzoli books)
Whether you're a punk, skater, graffiti artist, musician,
clothing brand, political activist, fine artist, or just a fan of a
band, stickers have always been the perfect way to express
oneself.
Starting in 1966 with Andy Warhol's Banana sticker for the
Velvet Underground "STICKERS" chronicles the
development of the art form as it spans cultural and
artistic genres of the last half-century. It documents
the evolution of stickers from early Californian skate culture, the punk rock pioneers,
early hip hop, techno/rave culture, graffiti, controversial politics,
right up to contemporary street & fine art.
A large section focuses on non traditional sticker mediums, such as wheatpastes,
tiles, mirror or anything else an artist chooses to work with that utilizes adhesive materials.
