Dorothy’s New “Punk Solar System” Print Maps The Ramones And Punk’s Sprawling Universe

Dorothy has charted the entire punk galaxy in a single print. The art studio’s new “Punk Solar System” places punk pioneers the Ramones at its blazing center, their explosive influence radiating out to CBGB contemporaries like Television, Patti Smith, The Heartbreakers, Blondie, and Suicide. From there the map reaches across the world, gathering the British scene (Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Damned, The Slits, Siouxsie and the Banshees), the Manchester and Liverpool clusters sparked by the Pistols’ Lesser Free Trade Hall gig and Eric’s club, Ohio’s proto-punk Rocket from the Tombs and Pere Ubu, Australia’s Saints and Radio Birdman, and a hardcore outer rim of Black Flag, Minor Threat, and Bad Brains. It’s a gorgeous, genre-spanning tribute, printed as a 5-colour litho on 120gsm uncoated art paper at H40 x W50cm.
