Broschofsky Galleries
Billy Schenck has been painting in his reductivist paint-by-numbers style since the 1960s. The first formal art show Schenk saw as an 18-year-old was Warhol’s Campbell Soup collection. Subsequently, after working for Warhol the following year, Schenk notes Warhol’s pop art style as an early influence on his work. In Schenk’s artistic version of a mythic “New West,” he satirizes the surrounding universal truth and lies.
We are pleased to show a new body of Schenck’s work alongside a selection of pop art images from Andy Warhol’s “Cowboys and Indians” portfolio (1986). Exploring the West through myths and nostalgia, the images were Warhol’s last major project before he died in 1987. The works represent an important milestone in both Warhol’s late career and the history of contemporary Western art. This show will compare these two recognized pioneers of Pop Art and their differing styles and interpretations of the American West.
Also showing is a new selection of large-scale photographs by famed artist David Yarrow.
For over two decades, British photographer David Yarrow has created evocative images of some of the world’s most iconic personalities, sporting moments, and endangered wildlife. In his ever-evolving series, storytelling, Yarrow takes his work to the next level through tales of adventure and misadventure, often utilizing iconic backdrops, recognizable characters, and trained animals. The artist’s low-editioned works are available in two sizes: standard and large or more aptly described as big and huge. Whether poignant, dramatic, or provocative, the images are always epic.
Broschofsky Galleries also displays works from other gallery artists, including Bill Barrett, Rudi Broschofsky, Russell Chatham, Edward Curtis, Ewoud de Groot, Joan Mitchell, Ken Peloke, Theodore Villa, and more.
