There were 20 Artist Proofs, that were not torn done, designated "A.P.A" to "A.P.T." // I’m Losing The Big Picture In The Full Story Of My Life by Raymond Pettibon is a 2010 lithograph that weaves fragmented scenes with existential musings, creating a multi-layered exploration of narrative and identity. The artwork is divided into four distinct vignettes, each depicting figures in forested settings, engaged in ambiguous and disconnected actions. Text interspersed throughout reads phrases like “I’m losing the big picture in the full story of my life,” which underscores a sense of confusion, introspection, and the struggle to piece together meaning. The loose, expressive line work and scattered dialogue reflect Pettibon's characteristic comic-book style, blending dark humor with philosophical inquiry. This piece invites viewers to ponder the fragmented nature of personal experience, where the big picture of one’s life is often lost in the minute, isolated moments. Published by Hamilton Press in collaboration with the Whitney Museum, this lithograph embodies Pettibon’s critical yet poetic examination of life's complexities.
