END OF A CENTURY gathers the incendiary, satirical and unmistakably sharp artwork of the late John Matthew Charrosin Wrake, better known simply as Run.
Spanning a decade of commissions for NME (1990–2000), these illustrations chart the cultural, political and musical shifts of the 1990s - from grunge and Britpop to gangsta rap and manufactured pop idols. Featuring U2, Blur and Wu-Tang Clan to Nirvana, Kylie Minogue and PJ Harvey, the visuals evolve from raw fanzine collages to full-colour digital fantasias.
Alongside the images are Run’s own diary notes on how they were made, with editing and a foreword by writer Andrew Collins.
Who’s it for? Anyone who lived through the Nineties, music fans who want their heroes reimagined, and collectors of graphic art who recognise Run as one of the most original visual voices of his generation.
An art book that is both a document of its time and a riotous celebration of it.
