Ringo Starr Sells Out NYC’s Beacon, Art Exhibition Coming To Soho

Ringo Starr, who is currently on tour with his All Starr Band (see dates below or atwww.ringostarr.com) , is also bringing his artwork to select cities. What started merely a diversion to pass the time, has since developed into an iconic collection of artwork. This year Ringo has created a unique set of ‘self portraits’ that truly showcases his evolution as a visual artist. June 19, 2014, there will be an opening VIP reception and exhibition of Ringo Starr’s art at Soho Contemporary Art Gallery  (www.sohocontemporaryart.com).

“Soho Contemporary Art is very excited to welcome Ringo Starr to our gallery in June. His artwork will look incredible next to Keith Haring & Jean-Michel Basquiat and all of our post war contemporary artists. His work has evolved from doodles on his computer in his hotel room to a cutting edge street art feel.”

“Ringo Starr’s art reflects his playful personality and his new self portraits wearing a bandana and fisherman’s cap wants us to believe that he could possibly pass as an anonymous “Street Artist” with one of the most recognizable faces in the world. Ringo’s art is happy and compelling. It represents the “Peace and Love” lifestyle that he has promoted his entire career.”

Soho Contemporary Art is Located in the heart of Manhattan’s Lower East Side on the southeast corner of Bowery and Houston Street. Our 2,900 square foot gallery features the artwork of Alex Katz, Andy Warhol, Bambi, Burton Morris, Christopher Wool, Donald Sultan, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jim Dine, Keith Haring, Neil Leifer, Robert Longo, Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, Takashi Murakami, Tom Wesselmann and many others. With over 30 years of experience we have provided the finest condition artwork at the best possible price points to collectors and galleries located around the world. Soho Contemporary Art is committed to maintaining the highest level of service to our clients. We cater to both the established, as well as the beginning collector, interested in investment quality contemporary art.
