Jamie Reid
Anarchy in the UK, promotional poster for their first record release, 4 November 1976
poster (620 x 430mm.), framed, pinholes, slight loss to top corner
Jamie Reid’s deliberate misuse of the Union Jack – tearing it up and then pinning it back together – is a good example of the scope of the Pistols’ ambition. The photographer of the flag assemblage that Reid used for this poster was Ray Stevenson.
This poster was originally owned by Sid Vicious.
