Living Room

Artist: Peter Tunney Title: EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE AMAZING (Commission) Materials: Extensive collage and acrylic paint on canvas Size: Approximately 8 x 12 ft.

Price: 250,000.00

It is difficult to separate the life and the work of Peter Tunney, because in many ways they are one and the same. His work, which frequently mixes and varies in media, functions as relics of the constant performance that is Peter Tunney's life. His work is a part of a bigger story, one that has taken him across every inch of the globe, seen him tackle wall street, travel out of this world and land back down to earth where he declared himself once and for all, an artist. Having been around, Peter is able to produce works that probe our culture with authority, by mining images from newspapers, magazines, and art books and reinterpreting them through his own unique perspective.

Wine Cellar Artist: Nick Veasey Title: Louboutin Materials: Photography Size: 47 x 60 in

Price: $22,000 Title: Ferrari Materials: Photography Size: 98 x 35 in

Price: $22,000 A man with x-‐ray vision, Nick Veasey creates art that shoes what it is really like inside. Nick’s work with radio graphic imaging equipment takes the x-‐ray to another level. Everyday objects are transformed from the banal to the beguiling and the layers and make-‐up of natural items are shown in fantastic detail. These works are a classic example of the fusion between art and science. The results transcend classification as photographs, having the gravitas to motivate science institutions and art galleries to acquire the artworks.

Bedroom Artist: Moby Title: Crowd Materials: Photograph Size: 40 x 60 in Price: $12,000 A fixture since the late 80’s New York house and hip-‐hop scenes, Moby has been releasing music ever since his first single, “Go” in 1991 (listed as one of Rolling Stones best records of all time). To date, his records have sold over twenty million copies worldwide and he’s played well over three thousand concerts all over the world in his career. In 2012 Samuel Owen Gallery exhibited Moby’s first exhibition titled, Destroyed. The exhibition featured photographs that captured the musician’s unique visual experiences while on tour. Moby has been taking pictures as long as he’s been making music, or ever since he was nine years old when his uncle presented hum with an A Nikon F camera. To this day Moby carries a camera wherever he goes. Moby’s second collection, at the Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles, dealt with the complexity and terror and exuberance of crowds. For this series he shot decontextualized pictures of huge crowds during different concerts on 4 continents. Moby's third gallery show, 'innocents', is predicated on the idea that the apocalypse has already happened. The show is a look at the apocalypse and a post-‐apocalyptic 'cult of innocents' that has arisen in the wake of the apocalypse.

Kitchen

Artist: Damien Hirst Title: Psalm-‐Exaudiat Te Dominus Materials: Screen-‐Print Size: 29 1/8 x 28 1/8 in

Price: $10,600 Title: Psalm-‐Diligam Te, Domine Materials: Screen-‐Print Size: 29 1/8 x 28 1/8 in

Price: $10,600 Damien Hirst was born in Bristol in 1965. He studied at Goldsmiths College in London and first came to public attention in 1988 when he conceived and curated "Freeze," an exhibition of his work and that of his friends and fellow students at Goldsmiths. In the near quarter century since that pivotal show, Hirst has become one of the most prominent artists of his generation. Throughout his work, Hirst takes a direct and challenging approach to ideas about existence. His work calls into question our awareness and convictions about the boundaries that separate desire and fear, life and death, reason and faith, love and hate. Hirst uses the tools and iconography of science and religion, creating sculptures and paintings whose beauty and intensity offer the viewer insight into art that transcends our familiar understanding of those domains.

Artist: Andy Warhol Title: Flowers FS II.67 Materials: Screen-‐Print Size: 36 x 36 in. Price: $42,000

Born on August 6, 1928, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Andy Warhol was a successful magazine and ad illustrator who became a leading artist of the 1960s Pop art movements. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became a renowned and sometimes controversial artist. Warhol's art used many types of media, including hand drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, silk screening, sculpture, film, and music. His life and work simultaneously satirized and celebrated materiality and celebrity. On the one hand, his paintings of distorted brand images and celebrity faces could be read as a critique of what he viewed as a culture obsessed with money and celebrity. On the other hand, Warhol's focus on consumer goods and pop-‐culture icons, as well as his own taste for money and fame, suggest a life in celebration of the very aspects of American culture that his work criticized. Warhol was also a pioneer in computer-‐generated art using Amiga computers that were introduced in 1984, two years before his death. He founded Interview Magazine and was the author of numerous books, including The Philosophy of Andy Warhol and Popism: The Warhol Sixties. He managed and produced the Velvet Underground, a rock band that had a strong influence on the evolution of punk rock music. His studio, The Factory, was a famous gathering place that brought together distinguished intellectuals, drag queens, playwrights, Bohemian street people, Hollywood celebrities, and wealthy patrons.
