Raymond Pettibon: Whuytuyp

Featured image, a 2009 collage work by Raymond Pettibon entitled "Untitled (And as True)," is reproduced from Whuytuyp, the newly released exhibition catalog for the artist's recent one-person show at Kunstmuseum Luzern, Switzerland. At bottom, the collage reads, "And as true to life as if it had been taken from the notebook of a cardiologist, but sketched in this case to express nothing but sweet, exquisite emotion—if you will have it. And who would think him unkind for that, and not accept it, any more than the surgeon would despise him for being afflicted with a serious disturbance of the circulation."
