David Anthony King (1948–2019) was a British-born American artist, graphic designer, and musician best known for designing the Crass symbol. His many varied projects encompassed 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. 

“David King Publications 1977–2019” will be the first survey of David King’s book, zine, and graphic design projects.

Exhibition curators Luca Antonucci and Matt Borruso will be on hand to offer opening remarks; light refreshments will be served.
