A vintage silkscreen frame with original artwork for multiple Sex Pistols stickers reading “No Future.” The best-known works of Jamie Reid (British, 1947-2023) include the record cover for the Sex Pistols single "God Save the Queen", which was lauded as “the single most iconic image of the punk era.” A Sotheby's lot description of a “No Future” sticker in the October 2022 sale of The Sex Pistols: The Stolper-Wilson Collection reads as follows, "Reid pioneered the use of stickers as informal artwork and ephemeral propaganda in his countercultural work for the Suburban Press earlier in the 1970s. The slogan "No Future" derives from the lyrics of God Save the Queen - it was in fact the song's original title - and became one of the central phrases of punk ideology." 

Framed: 35.25 x 25 x 2 in; 89.54 x 63.5 x 5.08 cm

Provenance: From the Collection of Boy George
