Raymond Pettibon's I AM ALARMED at the New Museum

November 17, 2020 Patricia Zohn

When I saw this t shirt by Raymond Pettibon sold at the New Museum at the time of his marvelous, dense, overwhelmingly engaging retrospective there, I knew I had to own one. Something about it seemed for the ages. I AM ALARMED, it says under a fireball. And I guess you could say I am alarmed. I am alarmed about the most obvious thing: our current administration. But I am also alarmed about California, the leader on so many environmental initiatives, now again under assault from the largest wildfires the state has yet seen. I could go on and on about the list of things I am alarmed about, but Pettibon's t-shirt covers the gamut. (Pettibon is a text genius. Reading his art on the wall took me an entire day and I still didn't get through it all. He's one of our best American writers and pundits) I think you can still get the tshirt online at the Museum's website or when they reopen which will be soon.
