Jamie Reid

Jamie Reid (1947–2023) is a British artist best known for his décollage covers of the Sex Pistols’ albums Never Mind the Bollocks and Here’s the Sex Pistols, as well as their singles “Anarchy in the U.K.” and “God Save the Queen.” A self-described anarchist, Reid’s cover art helped define the aesthetic of the British punk movement through its faux-ransom-note letters and iconoclastic defacements of pop culture and nationalistic images.

Today, his works can be found in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Tate Gallery in London, among others.
