Early paintings and ephemera by Tabboo!, full of 1980s New York punk glamour

This clothbound volume appraises the formative years, from 1982 to 1988, of legendary performer, painter, designer, puppeteer and muse Tabboo!'s career. The book displays historical ephemera--including homemade flyers for performances at iconic clubs--along with the artist's paintings. Additionally, an essay on the Glamorous Life by Jarrett Earnest explicates the thematic concerns of the catalog. In a 1995 interview with Linda Simpson about his early work, Tabboo! observed: the subject matter was drag, glamour, ladies' shoes, lingerie, hairdos, vinyl--same as now. Tabboo!: 1982-88 underscores the joy of creating and living, exuberantly.
