Peter Max exhibit at Northport gallery

The Island Now

A newly-curated collection of legendary artist Peter Max’s exquisite paintings will be on exhibition and available for acquisition in a presentation at Lamantia Gallery, Northport’s premier fine art gallery.

Max will make two very special appearances at the gallery and all appearances are complimentary and open to the public with RSVP’s required.

Previews begin Saturday, June 18, with a kick-off preview party on Friday evening, June 17 from  6 to 8 p.m.  

There are two scheduled Meet the Artist receptions: Saturday, June 25, from 6 to 8 p.m. and Sunday, June 26 from 2 to 4 p.m. RSVP’s are required:  631.754.8414 or james@lamantiagallery.com=

This carefully curated collection is a museum-like retrospective of Max’s greatest and most-revered imagery spanning four decades: from his iconic Pop Art designs commemorating Woodstock to the 2013 unveiling of Max’s design for the cruise ship Breakaway and the exquisite Masters series.  

Max has painted for five U.S. Presidents and his art is on display in museums, Presidential Libraries and in U.S. Embassies across the globe.   

He has been the Official Artist of the Grammy’s, five NFL Super Bowls, the 2006 Olympics, the World Cup USA, The World Series, The U.S. Open, The Indy 500, The New York City Marathon and The Kentucky Derby

Max emerged as a powerful force in the Art World from the prestigious Art Students League, alongside such artists as Robert Rauschenberg, Jackson Pollack, Cy Twombly and Norman Rockwell.  

The League was a formative influence on these artists’ innovative artwork, and has led each and every one to greatness and an important legacy in history.

Max’s Art Students League scholarly influence inspired all of his extraordinary artwork, and of late, his new Masters series; his interpretive works of Vincent Van Gogh, Monet, Pablo Picasso, Renoir, and Edgar Degas, conceived in Max’s signature style and colors.  

These works speak to both a maturation of the artist’s illustrious career, as well as to his formidable training at the 130 year old Art Students League of New York.
