Sperry Books: “Color x Color”, “Helikon” & “Chthoneon”

Helikon The Muses of Chuck Sperry

“Helikon, The Muses of Chuck Sperry” gathers together Sperry’s masterfully screen printed wood panel series of contemporary-classical muses: work inspired by the spirit of the modern rock poster, graffiti, and the utopian ethos of 1960’s psychedelia.

“Chthoneon, The Art of Chuck Sperry” delves boldly into Sperry’s artistic imagination, inspiration and reasoning, continuing where it’s companion book “Helikon, The Muses of Chuck Sperry” left off. “Chthoneon” collects 22 gorgeously photographed new Sperry screen printed art works paired with the prose or poem — from Aristophanes to Margaret Atwood — that inspired each.

With every rock concert in the world probably on hold until 2021, rock fans are craving something to fill the gap. That makes the arrival of Chuck Sperry’s highly anticipated new book, “Color x Color: The Sperry Poster Archive 1980 – 2020,” doubly timely. Packed with more than 800 photographs of Sperry’s unparalleled work, the book’s 750-plus pages allow fans to take a deep stage dive into the past 40 years of rock, and to flash forward to 40 more. 

752 Pages of Colorful Art & Rock History

The 750+ page tome features over 800 color reproductions of Sperry’s work, from his early years creating posters for Bill Graham’s legendary Fillmore Auditorium, to his eye-arresting work for The Who, Eric Clapton, Pearl Jam, and the Black Keys.

Sperry Introduces each chapter of “Color x Color” with fresh and  insightful autobiographical detail, shedding light on his colorful art, life and career. As the artist prefaces his book: “To show you everything, well, that’s exactly what I set out to do two years ago. This book brings together every poster I have created.” 

The impetus to create this exhaustively complete book originates with the creation of an extensive special permanent collection of Sperry’s art to enter the archives of the Fort Wayne Museum of Art.
