The Poster Explosion

About Me

The Art of Modern Rock is set to be the first and last word on today’s concert posters and promotional art, featuring over 1500 exemplary rock posters from over 200 international studios and artists. A massive 11 x 13”, 492-page book, this long-anticipated sequel to the Art of Rock—considered the bible of rock poster art of the Boomer generation—is the must-have book for music and poster fans of all kinds. Featuring plenty of work from the top names in the industry (Glen Barr, Art Chantry, Coop, Emek, Hatch Show Print, Derek Hess, Jeff Kleinsmith, Frank Kozik, Lindsey Kuhn, Scrojo, Jamie Ward), as well as small and emerging studios from around the world, The Art of Modern Rock is approximately fifteen times the size of its nearest competition. The only survey to gather the best of the dynamic world of rock poster design, The Art of Modern Rock is a bona fide publishing event. br br
