Works 1976 - 2006
Rare BookLinder: Works 1976–2006 provides a comprehensive overview of three decades of work by the British artist Linder.
Emerging from the Manchester punk scene of the late 1970s, Linder became widely known for her radical photomontages that combine images from fashion magazines, pornography, advertising, and domestic imagery. Through these striking juxtapositions she exposes the ways in which female bodies and identities are constructed within consumer culture.
The publication traces the development of Linder’s practice from her early collage works and graphic contributions to the punk movement to later installations, photographs, and performances. Throughout these works, the artist critically examines gender roles, sexuality, and the visual language of mass media. Her montages often confront the viewer with unsettling yet incisive images that reveal the tensions between desire, consumption, and representation.
Bringing together a large body of visual material alongside critical texts, the book situates Linder’s work within the broader context of feminist art, post-punk culture, and the politics of the image.
