 F*** You Heroes  G. E. Friedman Photograph Book
Featured in this lot is this 1997 revised first edition of "F*** You Heroes" compiled by renowned photographer Glen E. Friedman between 1976-1991 with the introduction done by C. R. Stecyk III. American photographer Glen E. Friedman, born in New York City in 1962, is renowned for his fundamental contributions to the skateboarding, punk rock, and hip-hop scenes. His career as a photographer got its start when he was a teenager and became heavily involved in the Southern California skateboarding scene. He photographed the early years of skateboarding, which included well-known individuals like Tony Hawk and Tony Alva. Friedman captured legendary bands like Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, and Minor Threat while embracing the rebellious energy of punk rock, creating honest and unvarnished images that defined the punk subculture. Later, he made the transition to the new genre of hip-hop, immortalizing groups like the Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, and Run-D.M.C. His work, which is featured in books like "My Rules" and "F*** You Heroes," is still praised for its historical importance and cultural impact, which helps to preserve these subcultures' essential characteristics for coming generations. In addition to photography, Friedman is a supporter of environmental and animal rights causes and uses his work to draw attention to pressing problems. His images serve as a testament to the visual storytelling genre's enduring power and its impact on youth culture and popular history. The book features 126 black & white and colored photos with titles, dates and the name of the person or group being photographed.
