Shepard Fairey and Neil Young helped to unveil art dealer Perry Rubenstein’s new Los Angeles gallery at a swank party on Saturday. The new art space isn’t scheduled to officially open until late June, but Saturday’s event was a soft launch attended by the press and a handful of art-world luminaries and celebrities.
Fairey was on hand to unveil “Americana,” a small exhibition of paintings inspired by songs from Young’s new album of the same name. “Americana,” by Young and the band Crazy Horse, features re-interpretations of classic American folk songs, including “Oh, Susannah,” “Jesus’ Chariot” and “Clementine.”
In a brief interview on Saturday, Fairey said that the collaboration had come about through his friendship with Young’s manager, Elliot Roberts. The artist had collaborated with Young in the past, and he started his work on “Americana” in February. The show features about 20 works by Fairey of varying sizes.
