Jamie Reid

Never Mind the Bollocks Here’s the Sex Pistols

England: The Sex Pistols, 1977. Offset lithograph. 59 x 35 ½ in. Near fine. Item #4908

This tour-de-force of lithographic printing has deservedly acquired a legendary status over
the years, not only among punk fans and Sex Pistols fans, but for people who admire 20th
century graphic design and fine printing.

This six color lithograph was executed under the
watchful eyes of graphic designer Jamie Reid, the man single-handedly responsible for the
core brilliance of the graphic language of British punk. To accomplish the vibrancy of the
yellow and the pink, the print needed two double dips, and the result is a masterpiece of
post-war British printmaking.
