I was excited to be invited to the opening of “Beyond The Stage: Art By Legends of Rock’N’ Roll – An Art Exhibition and sale on November 8th! The Gallery features the largest collection of art by iconic rock music artists of our time!
And some of the famed artists were at the opening of the Gallery including Steve Vai, Robby Krieger (The Doors), John Douglas (Aerosmith) and many guests including famed photographer Neal Preston and Alan Childs (David Bowie, John Waite) who I finally met in person! Owner of the Gallery Nicholas Leone was also in attendance that handles numerous auction houses and represents many of the notable rock musicians to showcase their art, along with many other special guests who attended the historic event!Steve Vai and Robby Krieger showed me their section of the gallery that included their artwork which was pure historic beauty in my opinion. Steve Vai’s collection included his colourful abstract artwork and hand painted guitars that were played on stage. They were very gracious as I captured the event with photos of them and their work.
The two galleries are located inside the Grand Canal Shops in the Venetian. I was amazed at the epic artwork which consisted of drawings, sketches, paintings and unique guitars created by such famed musicians including by Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Bono, David Bowie, Steve Vai, Robby Krieger, Jim Morrison, Steven Tyler, Paul McCartney, Jerry Garcia and many Other Music Icons.
The historic artwork can be viewed in person or online worldwide for purchase as well at www.animazing.com. I urge any rock fans to see this historic collection! You will be amazed like I was!
