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

“Idyllion, The Art of Chuck Sperry” continues the poetic journey started by Chuck’s previous companion books “Helikon, The Muses of Chuck Sperry” and “Chthoneon, The Art of Chuck Sperry”. 

“Idyllion” collects 29 gorgeously photographed new Sperry screen printed art works paired with the prose or poem — from Hesiod to Maynard James Keenan — that inspired each. 

The reader is also offered insight into Chuck’s latest political poster in support of the Equal Rights Amendment campaign with an extensive interview of Sperry by graphic design legend Steven Heller. The interview — accompanied by beautiful photographs by Shaun Roberts — follows the artist at work from the production process to launching the poster.

“Idyllion” is overflowing with evocative and inspiring new work from one of America’s most popular, outspoken and important contemporary artists.
