{"title":"Kiki Picasso","description":"\u003cp\u003eKiki Picasso (b. 1950) — French graphic artist, painter, and founding member of the Bazooka collective, the Paris-based group whose work dominated the visual culture of the French punk underground from the mid-1970s onward. Operating through press, poster, record sleeve, and book design, Bazooka developed a graphic language of appropriation, media noise, and anti-respectable image culture that ran parallel to the literary and musical provocations of the period. Kiki Picasso’s adopted name — a theft and a provocation in itself — signals the register in which the work operates: interference, contamination, and cultural short-circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted matter, artist books, and related documents from The New Rare.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"kathy-acker-algeria-french-edition-dtv-paris-1988","title":"Kathy Acker — Algeria (French edition), Le Dernier Terrain Vague \/ DTV, Paris, 1988","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlgeria: Une suite d’incantations parce que rien d’autre ne marche\u003cbr\u003eLe Dernier Terrain Vague \/ DTV Compact Livre, Paris, 1988\u003cbr\u003eFrench translation by Thierry Marignac\u003cbr\u003eCover and illustrations by Kiki Picasso\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11 × 15 cm · 166 pages · Softcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e good vintage condition.
