John Van Hamersveld: Post-Future

A retrospective of one of the 20th century’s most important artistic figures, this beautifully illustrated monograph focuses on John Van Hamersveld’s intensely creative period from 1964 to 1974 and his contemporary reworkings of the original illustrations, posters, album covers, and other artworks from this period. Revealing the creative genius behind his extensive body of work—the iconicEndless Summerposter; more than 300 album covers, including designs for the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Blondie, and KISS; the world famous Jimi Hendrix Pinnacle poster; and the widely known grinning Johnny Face image—this collection showcases the artist’s past work, provides insights into his creative process, and demonstrates how his work has been widely influential in popular culture. Also discussed are the new designs and products coming from his Coolhous studio that will introduce this masterful artist to a new audience.
