“Archetypes” Chuck Sperry Store Release Open Now

We would like to thank everyone who acquired Chuck Sperry’s new book during the successful EQL Premier Release the weekend of May 1 — your book is presently shipping to you. The response is overwhelmingly great!

Chuck Sperry is releasing his gorgeous new art book Archetypes, The Sperry Art Print Archive 2009-2026 in the Chuck Sperry Store, where it is now available through convenient purchase and check-out. Visit Sperry’s website store for the start to the online store book release in the US! Buy Now!

Archetypes, The Sperry Art Print Archive 2009-2026 is a complete collection of decades of the influential artist’s print work; it follows his trajectory from master poster designer and printmaker to art world phenomenon.

Archetypes gathers together all of Sperry’s masterfully screen printed wood panels, art prints, paintings, and tapestries of contemporary-classical muses: work inspired by the humanist spirit of the Greek mythology, urban art, and the utopian ethos of 1960s psychedelia. 100+ artworks paired with the prose or poem — from Homer to George Orwell — that inspired each. Ten sensitively captured photo stories by Shaun Roberts give the reader an intimate portrait of the artist at work and on exhibition in museums, galleries, and art spaces worldwide. Parallel to Sperry’s achievement of mainstream recognition, his history of social engagement and mythic exploration is illuminated throughout the 680 page compendium. Finally, a comprehensive presentation of every classic Sperry art work in his quest to forge a hopeful and fresh artistic vision, with a wide variety of insight provided by art critic Steven Heller, NYT bestselling author Charles Bock, Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger, and contemporary art curator Josef Zimmerman of the Fort Wayne Museum of Art.

The impetus to create this exhaustively complete book originates with the creation of an extensive special permanent collection of Sperry’s art to enter the archives of the Fort Wayne Museum of Art.
