These 2 posters by Emek were for 2 shows in Amsterdam where Patti Smith performed her landmark, debut album “Horses” live in its entirety. Horses, released 43 years ago, has since been viewed by critics as one of the greatest and most influential albums in the history of the American punk rock movement, as well as one of the greatest albums of all time. Horses has also been cited as a key influence on a number of succeeding post-punk, and alternative rock acts, including Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Smiths, R.E.M, and PJ Harvey. Following its release, Horses cemented Smith’s reputation as one of the biggest names of the New York punk rock scene, alongside contemporary acts such as the Ramones, Blondie and Talking Heads, and it has since been cited as the first significant punk rock album.
