Current project. Just dropped our box for 2018 off at The Box Show in Point Reyes. This show is 150 boxes. 150 artists ... by invitation. Use the box or some portion of the box. That is the only criteria. . Watching Paint Dry This project began as a single milk crate and a quest to make a miniature spray can. I went out in search of materials to make a can of spray paint and came home with a glue stick (for the hot glue gun), a package of googly eyes, and a pack of silicone earring backs ... assembled them together and printed labels for Spray Ravioli and Spray Spaghettios (because I can). It worked! We bought the milk crates, the cooler, the window, and the picture frames. Everything else was fabricated ... walls, floors, ceiling, door, paint cans, rust, rollers, pans, lunches, assorted junk foods, electrical outlets and light switches, sandpaper, paper towels, books, magazines, spray Ravioli, dropcloth, brushes, paint, extension cord, cigarettes, matches, post-its, tape measures, newspapers, caulk guns, paint samples, and sponges ... Wait... I know I forgot something. My wife! My Excellent Wife Susan Bishop Chukerman ( @suesurf ) without whose input we’ll ... this project would have self destructed. #barrychukerman #theboxshow2018 #watchingpaintdry #becauseican

@mark_kostabi Kostabi was the man last night again, performing another brilliant set of 4 original compositions at Martin Lawrence Gallery in SF while we helped our clients buy outstanding paintings and mixed media drawings. The crowd was great, the room was full, everybody had a ball, and as usual, Kostabi was his interesting, interestED and charming self. A giant THANK YOU to my friends an clients who came and participated in the festivities. I think I have about five gigs of video but it will have to wait. And a MONSTER THANK YOU to #mark_kostabi ... #mark_kostabi #fineart #veryfineart #martinlawrencegalleries #martinlawrencegallerysf #martinlawrencegallery #barrychukerman [email protected]

t (Nov 29, 1933 – March 31, 2017) became well known in the 1960s as a leading American Pop artist alongside contemporaries Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, and other figurative artists. As with his contemporaries, Rosenquist’s background in commercial art deeply influenced his nascent fine-art career and radically changed the face of the art world and the annals of art history. While each Pop artist developed a distinct style, there were commonalities in their approaches to image-making that helped define the Pop art movement in the early 1960s: the use of commercial art techniques, and the depiction of popular imagery and everyday objects. Drawing on his early experience as a billboard painter, Rosenquist culled imagery from print advertisements, photographs, and popular periodicals and recombined these to create mysterious and bold compositions. Utilizing the visual language of advertising, described by the late American curator Walter Hopps as "visual poetry," his work has plumbed questions ranging from the economic, romantic, and ecological to the scientific, cosmic and existential. Creating seminal new work over more than five decades, Rosenquist consistently expressed facile talent in painting, collage, drawing, and printmaking. His work is included in major public and private institutions, and has been featured in solo exhibitions at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Museum of Modern Art, Walker Art Center, Whitney Museum of American Art, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, The Menil Collection, The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Denver Art Museum, Tretiakov Gallery, Wallraf-Richartz Museum, and other international institutions.

Roy Lichtenstein Shipboard Girl (C.II.6), 1965 hand-signed offset lithograph 25.75 x 19 [email protected] @bchukerman Rare, iconic Roy Lichtenstein from 1965. Contact me directly for info or price. I cannot recall seeing more than one other in superior condition like this one. It is 52 years old and looks like it was printed yesterday. (It was not) "Incredible" doesn't accurately cover it. This piece is magic. Superior in every way. Use the savings, take a 2nd on the house, borrow it, beg for it, sell everything, do whatever you have to do to buy this piece ... before someone else does. It really does not get much better than this for under $200k. Feel completely free to pass this along to a friend who should have it. My email is at the top and in bio. #lichtenstein #roylichtenstein #fineart #veryfineart #barrychukerman #buyitnowbeforesomeoneelsedoes #buyitnow #buythis #buythisnow #pop #popart #collectors #collectorsdream #popartcollectorsdream #vintageart #iconic #artfromthesixties #[email protected]
