Punk

Salvador Costa, introduction by Jordi Vargas

Verlag: Producciones Editoriales, Barcelona, 1977

Punk is the result of then-unknown Spanish photographer Salvador Costa trip to London in 1977 to photograph the emergent punk scene. He frequented The Roxy, photographing the club s regulars and revelers, with a particularly sharp eye for the sartorial details and flourishes that made punk style electric. Also included are photographs of Johnny Rotten, Johnny Moped, The Jam, X-T-C, Cherry Vanilla, other early punk musicians and icons. The photobook is also an example of punk s internationalization and spread across Europe. It is also notable that this book was published just two years after Franco s death. The Movida Madrileña was cohering as a cultural expression and identity; Costa s photobook would certainly have contributed to the explosive proliferation of countercultural sensibilities and identities in Spain. Text in Spanish. Softcover. 96 pp., with approximately 90 b/w photographs. 8 1?4 x 11 3?4 in. Very good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 6297
