Totally is the final day to visit the Aspen Art Fair. If you’re there, be sure to swing by Hexton Gallery to see my work alongside paintings by Alex Katz and others. I’m honored to be in such fine company and so grateful to the entire Hexton Gallery team for their support.

I’m pleased to report that Hexton Gallery will present my paintings at The Aspen Art Fair this week. Details in my current newsletter:

Thanks for your consideration!

So good! “I say, Phil, my dog has no nose.” I must have listened to this show a thousand times… still have the tapes!

Congratulations! I recently bought one as a gift for someone, as well as one for myself. Looking forward to digging in!

I “bumped into” this in Venice years back and it grabbed me for hours. Gutted I missed it when it was recently at MoMA.

34 years ago today, I got on the bus. My first Grateful Dead show. What a night! Changed my life. I’ve been forever grateful since that magical evening. Here’s their opener.

Delightful Duncan!

I think I was at that Toots show, as well, although I’m sure he played there more than a handful of times. A compendium of concert history there would be amazing.

True. It’s probably just an institutional collection that may be interested in preserving the thing as a whole, if they even exist. That said, if one is inclined to purchase a new one for your home why not get an original with the packaging fixings!

Wondering why the estimate is essentially the price of a new one from DWR? Shouldn’t this original in-box one be worth heaps more for those that collect this sort of thing?

Bid on my painting, Bringing Up the Past, in support of NYC Culture Club, a non profit that gives artists and curators free exhibitions at the World Trade Center. For tickets to their 2nd annual gala and auction this Wednesday May 21, please visit www.nyccultureclub.com Thanks for checking it out!

Love this show!

Happiest of birthdays to you, Joseph!

I donated this painting to benefit NYC Culture Club, a nonprofit that offers opportunities for curators & artists to host exhibitions for free. The painting will be auctioned at their gala this Wed May 21 at the World Trade Center. Info and tix: www.nyccultureclub.com Hope to see you Wednesday!
