Here’s Your Irony Back (The Big Picture)
Steidl David Zwirner / Regen Projects
Since the late 1970s, as a pioneer of Southern California underground culture, Raymond Pettibon has radically blurred the boundaries of “high” and “low”. His obsessively worked drawings pull freely from myriad sources spanning the cultural spectrum. The resulting, highly poetic constructions function as acute and authentic reflections of contemporary society. Inspired by September 11, 2001, Pettibon’s focus has grown increasingly political, as evidenced by his 2006 exhibition at Regen Projects and his 2007 exhibition at David Zwirner. This probing catalogue, which is a collaborative effort between Regen Projects, Los Angeles and David Zwirner, New York, includes a text by art historian Benjamin Buchloh.
