NEW YORK, NY.- Since discovering punk in the summer of 1976, Andrew Krivine has amassed one of the world's largest collections of punk graphic design and memorabilia, with part of his collection forming the core of a traveling museum exhibition. Too Fast to Live, Too Young to Die: Punk and Post-Punk Graphic Design represents the cream of the crop from Krivine’s collection—over 700 original scans of posters, flyers, covers, ads, and other ephemera from the prime years of the movement, which forever changed the world of graphic design.

This extensively illustrated volume recounts one man's obsession with creating an unparalleled collection of punk memorabilia. The content of the book is verified, critically assessed, and given provenance by an array of graphic design experts, academics, and commentators, among them former New York Times art director Steven Heller, Russ Bestley, Professor Rick Poynor, Malcolm Garrett, and Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning editor Michael Wilde.

Too Fast to Live, Too Young to Die brilliantly explores the visual language of punk through hundreds of its most memorable graphics, from the shocking remixes of expropriated images and texts to the DIY zines and flyers that challenged the commercial slickness of the mainstream media. The book is sure to become the definitive work on the subject within the punk and post-punk movements of America and the U.K.

Andrew Krivine, while staying with his cousin John, who founded the seminal punk stores Acme Attractions and BOY in London in 1976, began building his vast collection of punk and post-punk graphic design. A resident of New York, he continues to add to his collection.
