Artists at the Limelight: A Blick on 6th Avenue Art Commission

Commissioned by Gwen Stacy, the General Manager at Blick Art Materials on 6th Avenue, this series gives a gentle nod to the Limelight, which in its heyday was once a popular night club and imagines 5 famous artists: Andy Warhol, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh, Keith Haring, and Basquiat at the Limelight when the venue was still proclaimed as one of the most happening clubs in the 1980s and 1990s. Each illustration is accompanied by a witty, punny quote, that humorously celebrates some of the greatest artists of the 20th century as they take it all in and bask in the Limelight one more time.
