Promoting Volume 1, Issue 1, of "WET," published by Leonard Koren. The bimonthly magazine was inspired by 'bath art'—and followed on the heels of a party Koren threw at the Pico-Burnside Baths. WET aligned with the rise of the punk scene in Los Angeles, and the avant-garde of the 70s and 80s. The ambitious layout and design helped to catalyze the graphic styles later known as New Wave and Postmodern.
Condition: Good, some staining and folds throughout
