Panic Attack!: Art in the Punk Years

by Mark Sladen, Ariella Yedgar

Punk is most commonly associated with music, fashion and graphics, but its rebellious and iconoclastic spirit also found expression in the visual arts. Panic Attack! reveals the vibrant art scene that exploded in Britain and the United States between 1974 and 1984, when visual artists shared some of the radical attitudes and aesthetics of punk and post-punk musicians and designers.
Featuring essays by both British and American commentators, a detailed chronology of the art and music scenes of the time and stunning reproductions of works by over thirty leading artists, Panic Attack! is an account of one of the most exciting periods in modern art.

Derek Jarman, Cindy Sherman, Robert Mapplethorpe, Keith Haring, Linder Sterling.. It's a nice introduction to the 70s' punk culture of Britain that existed at the time.
