Pen & Newsprint paper collage, 180 x 275mm.
Call It Filthy Lucre
This piece is an early example of Reid’s ransom note technique, used in response to the Daily Express’s mock outrage headline ‘Punk? Call It Filthy Lucre’ from December 3rd 1976 following The Grundy Incident. The marker pen looks brutal, but is very considered as ever. Not done for any specific purpose, this piece captures the chaotic vitality of the period.
