Peter Max called from New York last week at an opportune time: just as a story was breaking about the second gift of work for the proposed Clyfford Still Museum in Denver.
World-renowned artist Peter Max brings his "Colors of a Better World" exhibit to GALLERY M in Cherry Creek North beginning October 7th. He will make three special appearances to the gallery on October 14th through 16th.
Beginning Friday, October 7th GALLERY M (located at 2830 East Third Avenue in Denver) invites the public to enjoy a special sneak preview of Max’s work. Viewing hours are Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
GALLERY M seeks 35 collectors who share a passion for fine art, sports, and Vintage Corvettes to commit a total of $250,000 for each uniquely painted Corvette. As an original painted work of art according to the collector’s insight and Peter Max’s inspiration, each Corvette will be formally introduced during national sporting events including Professional Football, Soccer, and Basketball to raise public awareness of fine art. Each “vette” can become a formal icon for the city or remain in the private collection of each collector. Because “seeing is believing”, GALLERY M will donate up to 10% of each acquisition to The Foundation Fighting Blindness: An organization committed to the research, prevention, and cure of eyesight diseases including Retinitis Pigmentosa. The “Community Vision Drive” project completion date is Christmas 2005.
Take a good look at Marilyn Monroe. Isn't she the legend against which celebrity itself is ultimately measured? She still has that certain something, even after all these years, and these seemingly unguarded portraits still promise another clue to the riddle of her magic.
GALLERY M of Cherry Creek North announced today the opening of a new selling exhibition of iconic vintage and modern prints by Margaret Bourke-White and Carl Mydans.
Curated specifically for this selling exhibition at GALLERY M, the new Filters of the Twentieth Century collection features iconic images shot by Bourke-White during her tenure with both FORTUNE and LIFE Magazine. Other works by Bourke-White to be included in GALLERY M’s exclusive exhibition are images from the best-selling, classic book, “You Have Seen Their Faces”, on which she collaborated with writer Erskine Caldwell. The book, in its third print run, helped shape a public discourse on rural poverty and race relations in the South in the 1930’s. Bourke-White was the first staff photographer hired at FORTUNE and was also one of the first four photographers hired in 1935 for “Project X” (which later became LIFE Magazine).
