Seattle Art Fair: “Crowd-control measures in place at Harman Projects, where Chuck Sperry was releasing print editions.” – artnet news

I jumped so quickly from Seattle to my first successful online launch with EQL, I didn’t get a chance to sum up my show with Harman Projects at Seattle Art Fair. 

Ken Harman said it best, so I’ll lean on his words: “Huge congratulations to Chuck Sperry for his stunning solo presentation with Harman Projects at the Seattle Art Fair this past weekend. 

Seeing our booth featured both in print via [the front page of] The Seattle Times and online via artnet was especially nice!

Huge thank you to Raul and John for all their hard work at the event and to Hector and Paul for the logistical support.

An especially heartfelt thank you to the many fans and collectors who flew in and camped out overnight to attend, your support means everything, thank you.

Looking forward to our next solo presentation with Chuck debuting at Harman Projects in NYC early next year, stay tuned!”

The Seattle Times • July 29, 2023 • by Margo Vansynghel

“The booth of New York’s Harman Projects was especially popular, drawing a crowd that spilled out into the aisles waiting patiently for their turn to see the art. Some had traveled from as far as Florida to purchase artwork by Chuck Sperry, famed for his art nouveau-stvle concert posters for bands like Pearl Jam and The Who.”

Harman Projects will be returning to the Seattle Art Fair later this month where we’ll be presenting a solo exhibition by acclaimed contemporary artist and print maker, Chuck Sperry.

Join us at booth C15 where we are excited to release five wood panel editions: Sappho, Syrinx, Venus, with two brand new editions, Salome and Magdalena.

In honor of Seattle’s unique connection to the history of rock music the gallery will also be presenting a curated selection of 75+ gig poster prints pulled directly from the artist’s personal archives. As a bonus, we’ll also be offering over a dozen unique test prints.

The artist will be on hand to autograph copies of his various coffee table art books and we’ll also have copies of his forthcoming The Sperry Collectible Card Set • Series 2 available for in-person signing and purchase.

Lastly, attendees to the Seattle event will have the first opportunity to acquire a new limited edition screen print on paper (with variants) which will be revealed at the exhibition opening night!

The Sperry Collectible Card Set • Series 2

I’m very excited to announce the second in a series of premium collectible card sets featuring a curated selection of the most popular rock posters and prints from my extensive archive.

The Sperry Collectible Card Set was artfully designed by renown art photographer and premium book designer Shaun Roberts, and it was curated and published by me. We are thrilled to present this newest collaboration!

The set comes in a gorgeous fire red, smooth, sturdy portfolio fold box with a secure magnetic snap closure. Title and signature is in gold emboss. The inside cover is gloss printed with a beautiful floral pattern over red, as is the black bumper which snugly cradles the deck of poster cards. A red ribbon aids access to the sealed deck of 25 cards.

The cards measure 5.5″ x 8.5″. Each of the 25 collectable cards faithfully present a different classic Sperry

poster on the front. On the back of each card are the poster details; surrounding floral decoration is printed in gold and black with a foil stamped signature.

The box comes shrink-wrapped. The cards come cellophane wrapped inside.

Only 1000 were made.

The Sperry Collectible Card Sets • Series 2 will be made available at two in-person events and later online: 

July 13-16, 2023 at the San Francisco Art Book Fair 
with Paragon Books at Minnesota Street Project – 1275 Minnesota Street, SF.

July 27-30, 2023 at the Seattle Art Fair
with Harman Projects at booth C15 – Lumen Field Event Center, Seattle.

I will make a very limited online lottery release of The Sperry Collectible Card Sets • Series 2
in August 2023 – exciting new details to be announced soon!
