Review:
-Stickers, long the currency of prepubescent girls, also have a protracted history as the emblem of pre-Internet subcultures, from skate to rave to hip-hop and everything in between. DB Burkeman, a 40-something ex-rave D.J. and music industry A&R man, has amassed an impressive trove and brings them together in Stickers: From Punk Rock to Contemporary Art ($35; Rizzoli). And there is nary a unicorn or a rainbow in the bunch.- New York Times, T Magazine Blog -For DB Burkeman, stickers are those little markers that document our culture.

So it only makes sense that Burkeman, along with his partner, Monica LoCascio, got to researching the art of stickers and churned out Stickers: From Punk Rock to Contemporary Art. The 300-page book traces the visual and social history of the medium, and explores the relationship artists have with their pieces and how they communicate with viewers.- MTV.com "Stickers, long the currency of prepubescent girls, also have a protracted history as the emblem of pre-Internet subcultures, from skate to rave to hip-hop and everything in between.
