ANDY WARHOL & TIM BESSELL – WARHOL SURF
2013-07-29Andy Warhol Surfboards by Tim Bessell Brings Warhol’s movie “San Diego Surf” and his art together in perfect harmony. In October 2012, Andy Warhol’s 1970’s movie ‘San Diego Surf’ was released for the first time in New York City at the Museum of Modern Art. Timing couldn’t be more perfect with the release of the first series of Warhol Bessell Surfboards hand crafted by Tim Bessell.
The first series of Warhol Bessell Surfboards consisted of 5 boards representing Warhol’s art symbolically as it pertains to surfing.
To celebrate the release of the 2nd series, 5 more designs, we present an exhibition of all 10 boards. The Artist Series of all 10 Warhol Bessell Surfboards will be featured and for sale in this exhibition at Stolenspace.
Bessell’s Artist Series surfboards pay homage to famous artists he’s drawn inspiration from through the surfboards he’s become renowned for. Released in very limited editions, these handmade works were released in collaboration with the Warhol Foundation, taking Andy Warhol’s graphics and combining them with his most popular surfboard shapes.
Exhibition runs from August 2nd to September 1st, 2013
