Raymond Pettibon High Line Art Billboard June 3 - July 1, 2013 The new billboard from High Line Art by Raymond Pettibon went on view Monday, June 3 on the corner of 18th Street and 10th Avenue, just one block away from the gallery on West 19th Street where the artist will have a solo show in September. No Title (Safe he called…), 2010, is a work from the artist’s well-known series of baseball drawings and conveys the movement and dynamism of a game between the Boston Red Sox and the Brooklyn Dodgers. The drawing evokes a longstanding history known to baseball fans: the departure of the Dodgers from Brooklyn to Los Angeles. Pettibon alludes to an East Coast-West Coast feud throughout the drawing: on the left he writes “Moses,” a reference to both Robert Moses, the New York City power broker who played a major role in the Dodgers move from Brooklyn to Los Angeles, and the biblical Moses, who led his people on an exodus to the promised land. “Jackie” refers to Jackie Robinson, the first African American to play in the Major League, while “Where Brooklyn at?” references the chant from the famous freestyle rap battle between East Coast rapper Notorious B.I.G. and West Coast rapper Tupac Shakur. This is the tenth installment of the High Line Billboard. |
