Destroy/Rankin

Destroy/Rankin is launched today. The book designed by Big Active creative director Gerard Saint features 70 of the world’s leading musicians who have ‘destroyed’ Rankin’s iconic photographs of themselves to create new pieces of artwork in support of Youth Music – the UK’s leading music charity for young people. “I wanted to hear the voice inside that the camera doesn’t always catch” say Rankin. “…with that in mind,” says Saint, “I planned the book to look quiet on the outside and loud on the inside”. Musicians and contributors include Jarvis Cocker, Ian Brown, Fred Deakin, Kylie Minogue, Debbie Harry, Douglas Gordon and Damien Hirst. Big Active’s Mat Maitland also created a piece in collaboration with Basement Jaxx. The work will be on show at Phillips De Pury London, for free, between November 9 – 21. Collectors can bid online for the work from November 7, or attend the Open Auction on November 14 to bid for 25 key pieces.
