ARTWORK sketched on the walls of the former London flat of the Sex Pistols is going on display in York.
An exhibition of the images will be officially launched on February 2 to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the break-up of the influential punk band, in 1978.
The display features a series of photographs of the artworks, drawn by lead-singer Johnny Rotten on the walls of their 1975 London home, 6 Denmark Street.
The drawings, which were discovered under the wallpaper of the house, depict the band members, their manager and associates at the time when the band was recording and rehearsing for their first album.
The exhibition will be on display at Forty-Five Vinyl Café, 29 Mickelgate, and launches on February 2 at 7.30pm. The event will feature a talk by Professor John Schofield, curator of the exhibition, followed by a DJ Punk and Country set.
