This gorgeously illustrated catalogue explores just such an extraordinary partnership between Antwerp’s most eminent painters of the early seventeenth century, Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) and Jan Brueghel the Elder (1568–1625). Rubens and Brueghel exe- cuted approximately twenty-five works together between around 1598 and Brueghel’s death in 1625. Highly prized and sought after by collectors throughout Europe, the collaborative works of Rubens and Brueghel were shaped by their close friendship and dis- tinguished by an extremely high level of quality, further enhanced by the status of the artists themselves. Published to coincide with an exhibition at the Getty Museum to be held July 5 to September 24, 2006, the catalogue features twenty-six color plates of such Rubens/Brueghel paintings as The Return from War, The Feast of Acheloüs, Garden of Eden with the Fall of Man, Allegory of Sight, Battle of the Amazons, Nature Adored by the Graces, and Madonna and Child in a Garland of Flowers, along with Rubens and Brueghel’s collaborations with important contemporaries such as Frans Snyders and Hendrick van Balen.

  • BUFF MONSTER “Legend of the Pink Cherry”
    For Immediate Release 3/5/2012 Corey Helford Gallery Los Angeles, CA presents new works by BUFF MONSTER “Legend of the Pink Cherry” Opening Reception Saturday, April 14, 2012 from 7‑10pm On View April 14 ‑ May 5, 2012 On Saturday, April 14, Los Angeles street artist Buff Monster returns to Corey Helford Gallery to unveil the “Legend of the Pink Cherry,” his fifth solo exhibition at the gallery and his most ambitious to date. Internationally known for his super bright, happy, and bold imagery, the paintings in the main gallery will celebrate the last eleven years of Buff Monster’s career, culminating in a timeless epic tale of good vs. evil. For the “Legend of the Pink Cherry,” the artist draws inspiration from Renaissance paintings. Buff Monster will introduce his latest creamy creation, a soft serve ice cream cone with human-like arms and legs. Each acrylic-on-wood panel piece in the show is delicately rendered with airbrush, a first for the artist. Buff Monster’s narratives are more character and figure-based than before, and the series of paintings creat- ed for the exhibition will also reveal a new direction in Buff Monster’s career. “I’ve always thought of my work as inspired by and representative of Los Angeles—Hollywood more specifically. Los Angeles is the birthplace of Buff Monster. Part of why I feel compelled to tie everything together is that I feel that this chapter of my life and my work is coming to an end, and I’m looking to the future. It’s time to go East.” -more- The upstairs gallery will feature the second half of the exhibition, the debut of a project Buff Monster has been working towards his entire career: “The Melty Misfits,” a set of 60 collectible trading cards honoring the the Garbage Pail Kids.
