Sonic Youth Gossip - View Single Post - rather ripped cover: a change in direction

Okay so I've cracked it... it's been driving me crazy for weeks... I knew that I'd seen the Rather Ripped cover somewhere before... or something similar, it wasn't until I saw the b+w version that it clicked. It is definitely the work of Christopher Wool... I have a catalogue of his collaboration with Harmony Korine called 'Pass The Bitch Chicken' from 2001 (one for HaydenAsche) and look what I found...

now look at the image from the Kung Fu site.

Christopher is mostly known for his large text paintings.

here's a short biography...http://www.ubs.com/4/artcollection/t...phy/index.html
So they have kept the grand tradition of working with, or including work of (predominantly East Coast) artists on their album covers alive!
Thank Mary-Christ.
