(PETTIBON, RAYMOND). Pettibon, Raymond. NP. ND (Circa 1983).: NP. No Edition Stated. 4to. Offset Printed Sheet. Fine.. One 8 ½ x 11" sheet offset-printed recto only, 1 b&w illustration. Printed in black ink on goldenrod paper, this is an early eighties reproduction of a Raymond Pettibon work on paper of a woman being violenty assaulted bearing the caption "Ohhh. I can't go on. The taste reminds me of Harry, and 40 years of oppression". The same work also appears in a reduced format on a single page of Pettibon's 1983 publication "Virgin Fears" (entry number nine in Uwe Koch and Roberto Ohrt's "A Catalogue RaisonnĂ© of Artists' Books by Raymond Pettibon, 1978-98"). A bright, most example of this exceedingly uncommon vintage piece of unknown - but presumedly self-published - origin that was acquired as part of a collection of SST-era publications and flyers by the artist showing some minor handling creases and a tiny closed tear along the top edge.
