Through the aesthetic traditions of comic and popular art, Pettibon examines the collapse of the Sixties and the despair generated by the impotence of that generation to ignite the incipient revolution. Andreas Hapkemeyer is Director of the Museum of Modern and Contemporary art in Bolzano, Italy, and Luca Beatrice is Professor of Art History at the Brera Academy in Torino, Italy.
