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.

________________

Hangar 18 is very pleased to announce the upcoming release schedule of Chuck Sperry’s newest book “Idyllion”, the prolific artist’s fourth book in five years.

“Idyllion, The Art of Chuck Sperry” continues the poetic journey started by Chuck’s previous companion books “Helikon, The Muses of Chuck Sperry” and “Chthoneon, The Art of Chuck Sperry”. 

“Idyllion” collects 29 gorgeously photographed new Sperry screen printed art works paired with the prose or poem — from Hesiod to Maynard James Keenan — that inspired each. 

The reader is also offered insight into Chuck’s latest political poster in support of the Equal Rights Amendment campaign with an extensive interview of Sperry by graphic design legend Steven Heller. The interview — accompanied by beautiful photographs by Shaun Roberts — follows the artist at work from the production process to launching the poster.

“Idyllion” is overflowing with evocative and inspiring new work from one of America’s most popular, outspoken and important contemporary artists.
