It is my surrealist pleasure to invite everyone of you to take a look at my collection of various rare artworks, rare first edition books, rare signed art prints and comics that I have collected through the years. Fine Art, Cinema, Literature, Rare Vinyl, Books & more Books, Rare Comics are my Passion!!! I have been collecting since 1970, and I never stopped!
All in all, its ART that is my obsession and I am more obsessed with the art of others, my friends and contemporaries, than my own artwork, and this need for collecting has driven me to such depths of pleasure and wonder that I HAVE to share this with you! Though my tastes do vary according to the many facets of my powerful obsessions, I have found Surrealism in almost everything and anything that I aquire and obtain.
The late founder of the Surrealist Movement, ANDRE BRETON, was an obssessive collector and I certainly can identify with this passion that is shared for investigation into the marvelous. I can find Surrealism not only in paintings, literature and poetry, etc, but I can find it in the many comic books that I own as well as the music and films I love and adore.
In 1970, was when I bought my first comic book, which then exposed me to art. As a young child, I had collected and saved all my original comic books, and kept this passion going into my adult life and still active to this day. I had became exposed to music at the age of ten and that was when I started buying my first vinyl music records, which I kept to this day and I still collect rare vinyl, especially 1st pressings and real hard to get records. As a young adult in my early twenties, I was real heavily into Video, Cinema, Film, (and hoarding VHS tapes), which thus lead me to my interest in collecting Rare Original One Sheet Movie Posters. In my early thirties was when I had started to collect ART ROCK Posters, and then I became interested in Artists and the Fine Arts. This had lead to my current passion into collecting Fine Art Paintings, etc. I have been lucky enough (for the past twelve years counting) to have amassed a real large collection of artworks from many artists who are now friends of mine as well as those artists from the other genres who I worship and praise. There is still so much art that I have yet to unearth to show you!!!
Everything you see in here in these collection galleries, I personally own.
However, not everything I collect is Surrealist related, my tastes do vary, but the overall NEED to Collect is an OBSSESSION that I can never do without! IT DRIVES ME LIKE A POWERFUL DRUG!!! I hope that you too will appreciate this and aquire the Passion for Collecting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do strongly advise ALL of you to investigate and contact ALL of the Artists here on SURREALISM NOW! and BUY THEIR ART!!! BUY THEIR ART PRINTS!!! Whatever your own budget can afford, their is NOTHING MORE SATISFYING to an Artist when they find out that the Art Prints & Artworks of theirs are being collected by those WHO SEE the Beauty in their Creations!!! SUPPORT ALL OF THESE ARTISTS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will update these galleries SLOWLY, and at various times, because I do not want to overwhelm you all with way too much material to absorb. My strategy and goal is to TURN YOU ON to some of the most strange and intense artworks, etc., for you to examine, analyze and study. So please click on the image above to go to the galleries in the Collection. Enjoy!!!
