"Europunk: Cité de la Musique" is the definitive anthology documenting the explosive punk subculture in Europe between 1976 and 1980. Curated by Éric de Chassey, this captivating catalog was inspired by the groundbreaking exhibition hosted at Cité de la Musique, Paris, in 2013, which celebrated the raw, rebellious energy of European punk rock.
This volume showcases a rich collection of visual material—fanzines, posters, clothing, paintings, album covers, and flyers—offering a vivid glimpse into the era’s revolutionary art and culture. The book highlights the dynamic punk scene in France and England, focusing on its impact on visual arts and graphic design, with works by iconic figures like Jamie Reid, Malcolm McLaren, and the French collective Bazooka.
Contributors include Jon Savage, author of England's Dreaming, and journalist Jerry Goossens, providing context on the movement’s roots in the music world. A key resource for anyone passionate about the lasting influence of punk on visual culture and alternative art, "Europunk" is a must-have for art, music, and design enthusiasts.
