Iggy Pop by Gary Grimshaw

A powerful document of Detroit rock history, this Gary Grimshaw-designed poster announces Iggy Pop's week-long homecoming engagement at Bookie's Club 870 in late September of 1980. The Godfather of Punk returned to his Detroit roots for six nights, with a rotating cast of local underground acts opening the shows, including The Mutants and Coldcock.Grimshaw's bold chrome-effect lettering crackles with electric energy, the lightning bolt slashing through the typography echoing the raw voltage of Iggy's legendary performances. Jenny Lens's iconic photograph captures the singer in his characteristic shirtless pose, lean and coiled at the microphone. The deep purple field creates a nocturnal, club-atmosphere intensity.Note this poster is the authorized 1988 reissue, printed by Tea Lautrec Litho in San Francisco, preserves an essential piece of punk rock ephemera. A standout piece for collectors of Detroit rock history, punk memorabilia, or the graphic legacy of Gary Grimshaw.Size: 28.5" x 18.5"Artist: Gary GrimshawCondition: Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
