Art Wall: Art Fitzpatrick Show Debuts in Los Angeles
Filed in archive Automotive Art by Philip Powell on May 31, 2006
Once again lucky Angelinos are exposed to some fabulous auto art at the Petersen Museum. On Friday, June 2, from 7 - 10 PM, renowned advertising artist Art Fitzpatrick will be on hand for an entertaining and informative talk in conjunction with the opening of a new exhibit entitled Art Wall: Art Fitzpatrick. The artist has become justly famous for the images he produced as a contributor to the Pontiac Wide Track advertising campaign from 1959 to1971, although the backgrounds were painted by his long-time collaborator Van Kaufman. Fitzpatrick was featured in a 10-page Automobile Quarterly article (Vol.43, No.4,) and in the 20th Anniversary Issue of Collectible Automobile. Both publications placed Art Fitzgerald's work on the cover and will be available for a book signing. But don't be dismayed if you should read this blog after the event. Art may be at home relaxing but his works continue in the new exhibit.
