London Gallery to Document Sid and Nancy
LONDON - A London art gallery plans to document the doomed punk romance between Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious and his girlfriend Nancy Spungen.
Among the items in a retrospective punk show opening at the Hospital gallery in September is a blood-splattered poster from room 100 of New York's Chelsea Hotel, where Vicious allegedly stabbed Spungen to death on Oct. 12, 1978.
Art dealer Paul Stolper and editor Andrew Wilson, who own a trove of original Pistols' posters, T-shirts and handwritten lyrics displayed in the show, told the Independent on Sunday newspaper that items from the couple's hotel room had been sold by Vicious' mother, Anne Beverley, who died in 1996.
They could not say where the blood on the poster for the Pistols' album "Never Mind the Bollocks" came from.
Vicious was charged with second-degree murder, but died of a heroin overdose, aged 21, before standing trial.
The gallery's show, which also includes clothes from the shop run by punk pioneers Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood, runs Sept. 24 to Jan. 23.

Yeah I guess it is in a way. But people are "curious", they like to see the rare oddity, like that pic that SDH posted of that young lady viewing Rasputin's pickled penis in a jar. I got thinking about this sort of thing today talking to a friend of mine about the up coming county fair season. Back in the good old days when I was growing up they still had the "freak shows" and "Hootchie Coochie" shows. Tasteless for sure but it sure beat viewing pies and big pumpkins. |
