Tom Wesselmann is a Pop Art favorite at Vertu. Study for Seascape with Cumulus Clouds and Sky, 1991, is a welcomed acquisition for any Wesselmann collector. The work, done in Pencil and Liquidtex on Bristol Board, shows off the bold lines and rich colors that are emblematic of the artist’s pallet. As with many Wesselmann works, the artistic influence of Matisse and deKooning are evident in this horizontal composition, yet the piece is uniquely Wesselmann.

BOYNTON BEACH, FL — A new Art in Public Places “Op Art” exhibit will
open May 13 in the City’s Library, featuring Stanford Slutsky’s Kinetic and
Optical artwork. Kinetic Art refers to art that moves, or that gives the
sensation of movement, through its optical effects. As viewers enjoy and
move around the art, the art work’s light, colors and surfaces change
dramatically. Optical art is a method of painting that provides an interaction
between illusion and picture plane, between understanding and seeing. Op
art works are abstract. When viewed, the impression of movement, hidden
images, flashing, vibration, patterns, or alternatively, of swelling or
warping.

Slutsky’s optical art is composed [...]

Whether you’re an avid Warhol collector, a casual admirer or a critic of the artist’s work, there’s simply no denying the mammoth impact that Andy Warhol had on pop art and the art world at-large.

At Vertu, whenever we have new Andy Warhol prints for sale, it’s exhilarating. Warhol’s own celebrity loomed as large as the celebrities he painted − and in fact, for many Warhol collectors, it’s precisely the artist’s celebrity that lends a palpable emotional charge to his work.

The acute attention to detail evident in Anna Halldin-Maule’s work is most certainly amplified by her process of creating a strong artistic reference from which to work, far before the first brushstroke hits the canvas. Collaborating with husband Tom Maule, a highly accomplished photographer, the couple initiates a photo shoot to acquire an appropriate image that’s consistent with the artist’s vision. Anna Halldin-Maule serves as make-up artist and together with Tom; art directs the shoot – developing various compositions via adjustments of model, wardrobe, props and lighting. The photo shoot shares center stage with Anna’s painting process within each video captured to [...]

Like many hipsters in the mid-1970s, Bobby Grossman had the foresight to take his art degree from the Rhode Island School of Design and move to New York. This was back when New York wasNew York;it was gritty and full of twitchy energy, anchored by an unrivaled nightlife.

Grossman assumed he would continue his passion for illustrations and seek employment at a magazine. Instead, he found himself hooked on the city’s burgeoning punk scene. He was already friends with Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth and David Byrne, three pals from RISD who had formed Talking Heads and were the talk of the [...]

March 21, 2012 (MMD Newswire) — Vertu Fine Art (VFA) is excited to present False Profits, a solo exhibition of multi-disciplinary artist Steven D. Gagnon. On view will be a selection of his mixed media works, prints, sculptures, and video installations. The artist’s often witty and sardonic pieces investigate American culture through the juxtaposition of symbols and imagery in an effort to better understand the society that has influenced and shaped the artist.

Over the last decade, Gagnon’s work has exhibited widely and presented at such prestigious venues as both 2008 Presidential Conventions, the Fotofest biennial in Houston, and art fairs [...]

My friend, photographer Bobby Grossman, with whom I collaborated on a Debbie Harry portrait, is having a show of his awesome photography from 1975-1983. The show is called LOW FIDELITY and opens tonight in Boca Raton FL. There will also be a book of the works in the show available. Check it out.-Shepard

When I wanted to make a painting of Debbie Harry, I thought of Bobby Grossman because he made my favorite photograph of her. Debbie is a stylish, photogenic woman who became very comfortable in front of a camera. The beauty of Bobby’s Debbie Harry “Pepsi” photo is that [...]

This was a typical night for Bobby Grossman in 1976: grab a leather bomber jacket, swipe a Konica point-and-shoot camera from the dresser and hop a taxi to CBGB to take pictures of his closest buddies. His buddies happened to be the Talking Heads, the Sex Pistols,the Ramones, Iggy Pop and dozens of other punk and new wave upstarts.

Grossman never considered himself much of a photographer, with his shoot-from-the-hip, grainy portraits of the New York underground scene in the ’70s and ’80s, when booze-filled bohemians packed dingy Bowery nightclubs such as CBGB, the Mudd Club and Hurrah to hear not-quite [...]
