This Collected 4 has been in the works for quite awhile. Only 2500 copies of the box set are being produced. Thanks to the folks at Last Gasp, Hi-Fructose was able to make this happen.

Jerry Garcia “Tangled Up In Blue” Limited Edition Print by Chuck Sperry

Jerry Garcia (Autumn), 2017
21 x 32
Edition of 500
9 colors on cream paper
Signed and Numbered

I will be making my artist copies available only through my art shows and live appearances through the end of 2017.

This poster was officially available through the Jerry Garcia Estate.

The third in a series of four screen-prints from renowned artist Chuck Sperry celebrating Jerry’s life and legacy. Each print is signed & numbered by the artist in an edition of 500.

“My third print in my portrait series, “Jerry Garcia (Autumn)”, seeks to capture the wisdom and compassion of the Grateful Dead’s lead guitarist. Jerry anchored the concert hall with his good nature, while a wild, free improvisation swirled through him and around him. I wove a psychedelic paisley pattern throughout the design rendered in nine colors, including bright hues, hand-blended metallics and translucent glazes. My aim is to portray the elder Jerry, the mature artist with a child-like wonder tempered by “A Touch of Grey.” In a decade that dealt many challenges, Jerry’s determined belief “I will get by, I will survive” inspired his greatest moments of clarity and energy.” – Chuck Sperry

Summer of Love Sunday
Sunday, June 4, 2017
11 am to 4 pm
Hangar 18
1428 34th Street (at Hollis)
Oakland, CA

I’m very happy to announce, my Fourth Annual Open House at Hangar 18 Studio Gallery on Sunday, June 4 from 11 am to 4 pm.

Let’s get together for a celebration! This is a great opportunity to visit the print studio that gave birth to some of your favorite posters for your favorite bands.

I’ll be making a Jerry Garcia art show of my art prints made especially for the Jerry Garcia Estate. Also an exclusive showing of my art prints on oak panel, with some special prints, rarities, and surprises available!

Dead & Company will be playing Shoreline in The Bay Area the same weekend. David Welker has a solo show at Spoke Art Gallery on Saturday.

Come celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Summer of Love with a cool poster art show at my studio.

We will be giving people random numbers at the door at 10:00 am, so overnight camping is not encouraged!

 

I will have the brand, new book, “Helikon, The Muses of Chuck Sperry” on sale as well.

Chuck Sperry’s new book “Helikon” gathers together his masterfully screen printed wood panel series of contemporary-classical muses: work inspired by the spirit of the modern rock poster, graffiti, and the utopian ethos of 1960’s psychedelia.

“Helikon” presents 36 sumptuously photographed Sperrys paired with the prose or poem — from Homer to Nick Cave — that inspired each. Over a  dozen photos by Shaun Roberts give the reader an intimate portrait of the artist at work.
