David King Publications 1977 - 2019 will be the first published survey of David King’s book projects and graphic design work. David King (1948 - 2019) was a British born artist, graphic designer, and musician best known for designing the Crass symbol. His many varied projects encompassed design, drawing, photography, sculpture, film, video, radio plays, and more. King was a core member of the New York No Wave band Arsenal, and later the San Francisco post punk bands Sleeping Dogs and Brain Rust. He generated hundreds of flyers for these bands and others during the period of 1977 - 1988, as well as creating logos, brand identities and posters for nightclubs like Danceteria, Pravda, and the Peppermint Lounge in New York and the I-Beam in San Francisco.King made dozens of Xeroxed and offset zines in the late 70s and 80s that often accompanied his music projects. In the early 2000s, he began self publishing highly idiosyncratic small run books with subjects ranging from photographs of J.G Ballard’s home to rock formations seen in early Western films. In the later 2000s, he released numerous books of graphic design and photography through Colpa Press, &Pens, and Gingko Press. This publication seeks to introduce readers to King’s small press publishing projects, as well as his zines, ephemera, and illustration work. Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name at San Francisco Center for the Book: October 25 - December 22, 2024.
