Parkett Vol. 47
Quote from Parkett
“By placing texts in unique, single drawings, Pettibon has found a means of surmounting his intrinsic difficulty and revealing the aesthetic potential of ‘bad’ commercial mass literature within the framework of his art. Pettibon is not the only artist over the past few decades to pursue such ends in incorporating texts in his work; others have also grasped this opportunity—both literally and figuratively. (…) His pictures serve the interests of poetry, which—given the hegemony of the mechanically-printed word in current culture—cannot afford the appropriations and recontextualizations which have already become standard practice in art.”
Boris Groys, Parkett No. 47, 1996
