God Save the Queen Reject

Edition no. 27 of 100 signed lower right by Jamie Reid. Framed. This image although enlarged was the original idea for the Sex Pistols single God Save the Queen. The swastika eyes were removed for what has now become an iconic image. Jamie Reid (born 1947), educated at John Ruskin Grammar School in Croydon, is a British artist and anarchist with connections to the situationist movement. His work, featuring letters cut from newspaper headlines in the style of a ransom note came close to defining the image of punk rock, particularly in the UK. His best known works include the Sex Pistols album “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols” and the singles "Anarchy in the UK", "God Save The Queen", "Pretty Vacant" and "Holidays in the Sun". Reid produced a series of screen prints in 1997, the twentieth anniversary of the birth of Punk rock.

Stamped with The Aquarium reject stamp for having a light crease to one corner otherwise fine.
