Rare Andy Warhol Works Now Available

Guy Hepner is excited to present five rare Andy Warhol works. Included in this series are two of Warhol’s infamous portraits of the Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong. Mao appears both sinister and comical in these famous renditions by Andy Warhol. Also available are Paramount and Blackglama, two of Warhol’s most well-known and esteemed advertisements. Warhol’s Dollar ($) Signs best represent the artist’s satirical take on conspicuous consumption. In the words of Warhol, “I like money on the wall. Say you were going to buy a $200,000 painting. I think you should take that money, tie it up, and hang it on the wall. Then when someone visited you, the first thing they would see is the money on the wall.” Please contact the gallery for further information.

Bear Portraits by Jill Greenberg

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BEAR PORTRAITS BY JILL GREENBERG AT GUY HEPNER – 21 NOV – 5 DEC

OPENING PARTY AND BOOK SIGNING BY THE ARTIST – THURS, NOV 21 FROM 7 - 9 PM

“These pictures are smarter than the average bear” – Elivis Costello

Bears occupy a unique position in the popular imagination – at one end of the spectrum is the cuddly teddy bear and at the other the terrifying grizzly. Acclaimed celebrity portrait photographer Jill Greenberg confronts our collective fears and fantasies with her remarkable series Bear Portraits.

“When I was shooting the bears, I was surprised that they’d often pose like cuddly teddy bears. I thought that was really cute and I liked the dichotomy between the two ways the bears could be,” says Greenberg.

The creator of the infamous photographic collections End Times and Monkey Portraits, Greenberg is renowned for her highly original visual style. Whether the subject is a pop music diva, a film star, or a chimpanzee, Jill Greenberg photographs are instantly recognizable. Greenberg’s bear portraits engage the viewer with an incredible range of emotion: cubs as cute as a child’s stuffed animal, brown bears that look as if they might swallow you whole, and polar bears seated in sphinxlike tranquility.

The poses and facial expressions of Greenberg’s bears are at turns oddly comedic, pensive, terrifying and often surprisingly human. Alive with Greenberg’s signature lighting and seen through the unique perspective of her lens, these bear portraits offer unforgettable encounters with our untamed selves.

Guy Hepner is excited to present Bear Portraits by Jill Greenberg, opening November 21st and running through December 5th, with an opening party and book signing by the artist Thursday, November 21st from 7 to 9 pm at 300 N. Robertson Blvd. in West Hollywood.
