Från Black Flag till MoMA: Raymond Pettibon porträtteras rätt intimt i New York Times - "The Underbelly Artist".

But in the unlikely way that the art world sometimes works, Pettibon has now become one of the exalted fixtures on the international art scene, a high-tone collector's darling and senior superstar. Along with his wall drawing at the Museum of Modern Art, he has just completed an installation at the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego and, having won the Whitney Museum of American Art's 2004 Bucksbaum Award, he has been given a Whitney show, which opened this week and mixes drawings with a new animated video.

(Om Raymond Pettibons bror, Greg Ginn, som startade Black Flag och också skivbolaget SST, som förutom BF också gav ut bl.a. Minutemen, Meat Puppets, Sonic Youth, Dinosar Jr och Bad Brains: Pettibon said he hasn't seen Greg in years. Talking to people around Pettibon, I get the sense that Ginn, who has largely dropped out of public sight, might have resented Pettibon's success, which gradually rivaled and maybe even supplanted his own.)
