Morrison Hotel Gallery Announced As The Official Gallery 

For The Monterey Pop International 50th Anniversary Celebration

The Who by Henry Diltz, Monterey Pop Festival, 1967

Another Planet Entertainment and Goldenvoice in association with the Monterey International Pop Festival Foundation announced today that Morrison Hotel Gallery - the international leader in fine art music photography - is now the official gallery for the 50th anniversary celebration of The Monterey Pop Festival, occurring 50 years later. Morrison Hotel Gallery will be on site at the festival with a pop-up gallery that will have over 50 photographic prints for sale, of the artists that performed in the original Monterey Pop.

 

The dream of bringing together artistson the cutting edge of music in the name of charity, developed into what would become one of the seminal concerts in rock history. With the war in Vietnam on the world stage, cultural awareness and protest took a form of "music, love and flowers" with 170,000 people gathered at the Monterey Fairgrounds. The festival, produced by Lou Adler and John Phillips, was a beautifully orchestrated, peaceful gathering created a groundbreaking experience for attendees to embrace the music and be a part of what would become an explosion of culture that has impacted generations.

 

"Morrison Hotel Gallery is honored to be the official gallery, and part of the anniversary celebration of the historic Monterey Pop Festival. That's what our gallery is all about - the music, the history, the culture. It's what we and all the photographers we work with, represent, and it's coming full circle, 50 years later to the day, on the same spot," says gallery co-owner Timothy White.

 

Morrison Hotel Gallery co-owner and founder Henry Diltz - also the official photographer for Monterey Pop 50 years ago - will be on site to greet fans and sign autographs. A number of photographers represented by Morrison Hotel Gallery, who were on site at the original Monterey Pop Festival will be there to celebrate this culturally historic event with the gallery and fans. Filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker, the man behind the Monterey Pop movie, will also be on site at the gallery to talk to fans. All the photographs in this gallery will be for sale on site. There will also be a Monterey Pop exhibit at the NYC gallery from June 16th thru July 3rd. 

The three-day music celebration event will take place at the Monterey County Fairgrounds from June 16 to 18 - exactly 50 years to the day and on the exact same spot of the legendary festival in 1967. Festival schedule and ticket information can be found here.

Merchandise Mart, Chicago, Ill, May 18-21, 2017

Chicago, ILL., May 18-21, 2017 – The Chicago Antiques + Art + Design Show at the historic Merchandise Mart will offer an opportunity to view and purchase fine objects from throughout the nation and world at the four-day show, May 18-21, 2017.
For the first time it will feature a collection of rare documents and letters from Alexander Hamilton and Abraham Lincoln, from the Historic Documents and Legacy Collections of Seth Kaller, Inc., White Plains, NY (www.sethkallerinc.com).
“We’ll be showing a significant part of our Alexander Hamilton Collection, including a somewhat erotic handwritten letter from A. Hamilton to Eliza Schuyler in 1780, and a mere teaser for the astonishing Alexander Hamilton Collection. We will also highlight Abraham Lincoln documents, and a selection of other items from our inventory,” says Kaller, an acknowledged leader in the field of historical documents.
The show kicks off Thursday evening May 18 with a preview benefiting the Illinois Executive Mansion Association, from 6 to 9 p.m., hosted by former Governor James R. Thompson.
Synopsis of Items from the Seth Kaller Collection, on exhibition at the show:

• Even for Treason, Lincoln Can’t Fire an Appointee of N.Y.’s Governor: Abraham Lincoln Autograph Letter Signed…-
• Eliza Hamilton Dockets a Statement Sent to Her Husband.  Manuscript Document Sent to Alexander Hamilton…
• Thomas Paine Fights Foreign Interference: No King for America!  Thomas Paine Autograph Letter Signed…
• The Only Lincoln Letter to his Fiancée Mary Owens Still in Private Hands—Long on Politics, Short on Love.  Abraham Lincoln Autograph Letter Signed, 1836.
• Abraham Lincoln—Lengthy and Attractive Signed Legal Brief.  Autograph Manuscript Signed

Detailed Collection Information:
The Alexander Hamilton Collection is a Show-Stopping Gathering of Highly Important Original Letters, Documents and Imprints (or, the Genius, Passions, Foibles and Flaws of our Founding Fathers).  Visit with the orphan immigrant founding father who fought for independence, founded our financial system, and fostered a government capable of surviving internal factions and foreign foes.  The collection contains hundreds of documents from leaders, soldiers, citizens and the press, written when the Revolutionary War and Founding were current events. The Collection includes powerful letters and documents of Hamilton, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Aaron Burr, among many others.  See highlights here, or 156-page catalog here. The collection is priced at $2,300,000.
Even for Treason, Lincoln Can’t Fire an Appointee of N.Y.’s Governor.  In a complex matter involving allegations of treason, President Lincoln responds to a lawyer informing him that he has “no power to remove a Lieut. Colonel appointed by the Governor of New York.”  $22,000

Eliza Hamilton Dockets a Statement Sent to Her Husband.  A “Communication” sent to Alexander Hamilton, praising attorney Egbert Benson, who was instrumental in negotiating the land claim which New York had made to Vermont. Settling the land dispute was a congressionally mandated prerequisite for Vermont joining the Union as a state of its own, rather than being divided between New York and New Hampshire. $2,400
Thomas Paine Fights Foreign Interference: No King for America!  Paine asks a publisher for the source of a report, that Britain was behind a proposal “among the most influential federalists” recommending that the Duke of Clarence be made King of America (including Canada). This letter is a prime example from Paine’s campaign against any challenges to American democracy and independence. Paine responds to the report, “This might have been easily answered by saying We have blackguards enon of our own.”    $55,000

The Only Lincoln Letter to his Fiancée Mary Owens Still in Private Hands—Long on Politics, Short on Love.  In this highly important 1836 letter to his fiancée, Lincoln complains of his physical and mental health, and delves into Illinois politics.
    “The new State House is not yet finished, and consequently the legislature is doing little or nothing. The Governor delivered an inflamitory political message, and it is expected there will be some sparring … as soon as the two Houses get to business…
    The opposition men have no candidate of their own, and consequently they smile as complacently at the angry snarls of the contending Van Buren candidates and their respective friends, as the Christian does at Satan’s rage….
    Though I belive I am about well now … other things I can not account for, have conspired and have gotten my spirits so low, that I feel that I would rather be any place in the world than here…. Write back as soon as you get this, and if possible say something that will please me, for really I have not been pleased since I left you. This letter is so dry and stupid that I am ashamed to send it, but with my present feelings I can not do any better…”
     Lincoln’s letter may have revealed more than he intended. Owens later lamented his deficiencies “in those little links which make up the chain of a woman’s happiness.”    $390,000
 
Abraham Lincoln—Lengthy and Attractive Signed Legal Brief.  670 words in Lincoln’s hand in a case heard by Judge David Davis, soon to be Lincoln’s campaign manager, his U.S. Supreme Court Justice appointee, and the administrator of Lincoln’s estate.   $11,500
 
Hamilton Asks His College Roommate and Two Other Friends to Pay Their Share for Surveying a Speculative New York State Land Investment.  In 1795 Hamilton and three friends purchased 21,800 acres in Herkimer County, New York. Hamilton’s quarter interest was worth about $9,000 at the time of his death.  $13,500

Harper’s Weekly Original Civil War Newspaper Showing President Lincoln Commissioning General Grant.  Contents include scenes connected with General Custer’s movement across the Rapidan (centerfold) and views of Mobile, Alabama; Louisiana Governor Michael Hahn. March 26, 1864, complete, 16 pages.   $120

Fifth Star Honors on Aug. 28 wil celebrate - Common, Jeanne Gang, Steppenwolf, Kerry James Marshall (Chicago,IL.)

 

 

                       

 

 

2017 FIFTH STAR HONORS PRESENTED BY ALLSTATE INSURANCE COMPANY WILL CELEBRATE CHICAGO ARTISTS COMMON, JEANNE GANG, KERRY JAMES MARSHALL AND STEPPENWOLF THEATRE COMPANY

 

Chicago artists and cultural institutions, as well as youth “Rising Stars,” will be honored at a free show and concert in Millennium Park on August 28

 

Mayor Rahm Emanuel and The Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) will honor four Chicago artists and institutions for their contributions to the city’s cultural landscape at the 4^th annual Fifth Star Honors presented by Allstate Insurance Company. The 2017 honorees are hip hop artist and actor Common, celebrated architect Jeanne Gang, artist Kerry James Marshall and legendary Steppenwolf Theatre Company. Several youth artists will be recognized on the “Rising Star Honor Roll” for their emerging creative work. The free-admission show and concert will be at 7pm on Monday, August 28 at Millennium Park’s Jay Pritzker Pavilion.

 

“I am proud to honor these organizations and artists, who bring Chicago to the rest of the world and the world to Chicago,” said Mayor Emanuel. “Their work has changed and enhanced our city, and they have inspired and mentored new generations of artists who call Chicago home.”

 

The event will feature live performances and tributes recognizing this year’s honorees and their artistic work. The evening’s program will be announced at a later date. Last year, celebrity presenters included Cindy Crawford, and performers included Guy King and Shemekia Copeland.

 

“The Fifth Star Honors recognize the significant influence that these four honorees have had on Chicago’s magnificent art scene but also the world’s,” said Mark Kelly, Commissioner of DCASE. “Our honorees share one thing in common: they have brought beauty and enlightenment to the world while representing a city that respects and values the magic they have created.”

 

The City of Chicago will also honor outstanding youth with The Rising Star Honor Roll – a recognition program for students who show creative leadership, passion and exceptional skill in the arts. The Rising Star Honor Roll inductees will be announced later this summer, and an awards ceremony will be held in their honor at the Chicago Cultural Center in advance of the Fifth Star Honors show and concert in Millennium Park. DCASE is currently working with arts organizations to identify the Rising Stars for 2017. The honor celebrates the creative spirit of the next generation as an essential part of Chicago’s cultural life. 

 

“At Allstate and The Allstate Foundation, we believe good starts young,” said Vicky Dinges, Allstate’s senior vice president of corporate responsibility. “Helping America’s youth gain the skills, resources and confidence to achieve success in their lives is an Allstate priority. That’s why we’re so proud to present ‘The Rising Star’ award, recognizing the tremendous talent among our hometown youth.”

 

Fifth Star honorees this year include:

 

Common is a hip hop recording artist, actor, film producer and poet from Chicago, Illinois. After debuting in 1992 with the album Can I Borrow a Dollar?, Common gained an underground following that led to his critically acclaimed and commercially successful album Like Water for Chocolate. He’s been honored by the Grammy Awards several times, winning Best R&B Song in 2003 for "Love of My Life" with Erykah Badu and in 2008 for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for "Southside," featurin    g fellow Chicago artist Kanye West. Common won the 2015 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and the 2015 Academy Award for Best Original Song for his song "Glory" from the 2014 film Selma, in which he co-starred as Civil Rights Movement leader James Bevel. Common's acting career also includes starring roles in the films Smokin' Aces, Street Kings, American Gangster, Wanted, Terminator Salvation, among others. He also narrated the award-winning documentary Bouncing Cats, about one man's efforts to improve the lives of children in Uganda through hip hop/b-boy culture.

 

Jeanne Gang is an architect and MacArthur Fellow advancing the possibilities of architecture and design in the twenty-first century—including their ability to make a positive social and environmental impact. She is the founding principal of Studio Gang, an architecture and urban design practice based in Chicago and New York. Her analytical and creative approach has produced some of today’s most innovative architecture, including the 82-story, undulating Aqua Tower in downtown Chicago; the world’s first purpose-built structure for social justice education, the Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership at Kalamazoo College; and the University of Chicago’s Campus North Residential Commons, whose curving landscape and pre-cast concrete buildings enrich the campus’ neo-Gothic tradition. Jeanne is the recipient of the National Design Award for Architecture from the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, and is a Chevalier de la Legion d’Honneur of France. In 2017 she was honored with the Louis I. Kahn Memorial Award and elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She is the author of three books and her work has been published and exhibited widely.

 

Kerry James Marshall is an accomplished artist and MacArthur Fellow. Widely known as a painter, he also uses a broad range of media including collage, photography, video, sculpture, murals and comic books. His work addresses American culture and history, including the Civil Rights era and the Black Power movement. Painting in a Realist style, he depicts dark figures that celebrate black beauty and confront general racial stereotypes within contemporary American society. Marshall studied in Los Angeles at Otis Art Institute, graduating with a BFA in 1978. He spent one year, 1985-86 in the residency program at the Studio Museum in Harlem. He has had solo exhibitions throughout Europe and North America and his work has been included in such prestigious surveys as the 1997 Whitney Biennial, the 2003 Venice Biennial, the 2009 Gwangju Biennial, two Documentas (1997 and 2007) and the 1999 Carnegie International. His paintings are in the permanent collections of major public and private museums throughout the world. Marshall's 30 year retrospective, Mastry, debuted at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago in April 2016, then traveled to the Metropolitan Museum in NY, and the Contemporary Art Museum, Los Angeles, and included nearly 80 pieces.

 

Steppenwolf Theatre Company is the nation’s premier ensemble theater. Formed by a collective of actors in 1976, the ensemble has grown to 49 members who represent a remarkable cross-section of actors, directors and playwrights. Thrilling and powerful productions from Balm in Gilead to August: Osage County—and accolades that include the National Medal of Arts and 12 Tony Awards—have made the theater legendary. Artistic programing includes a seven-play season; a two-play Steppenwolf for Young Adults season; Visiting Company engagements; and LookOut, a multi-genre performances series. Education initiatives include the nationally recognized work of Steppenwolf for Young Adults, which engages 15,000 participants annually from Chicago’s diverse communities; the esteemed School at Steppenwolf; and Professional Leadership Programs for arts administration training. While firmly grounded in the Chicago community, nearly 40 original Steppenwolf productions have enjoyed success both nationally and internationally. With Anna D. Shapiro as artistic director and David Schmitz as executive director, Steppenwolf’s artistic force remains rooted in the original vision of its founders: an artist-driven theater, whose vitality is defined by its sharp appetite for groundbreaking, innovative work.

Jon Chambers, Symbiosis In Symbiosis, 3D scans of Chambers body are rendered beyond their physical possibilities in surreal and nonrepresentational landscapes and spaces. Formal and perceptual relationships start to develop as we reflect on our own body’s control while interfacing with digital realities: bodies as data are fluid, mutable, influenced and infinite. The video culminates into abstractness, where the parts become vague references of themselves and are integrated in the space. Snow Yunxue Fu, The Chambers The Chambers is a multi-channel video installation made by the Chicago based new media artist Snow Yunxue Fu. The installation is consisted of columns of digital simulated waters, storming in natural and unnatural movements. The virtual liquid moving sculptures layer with repeated intervals going back and forth. Wild yet controlled, real yet digital, providing a limited opening for the viewers to interface with the subliminal imaginary nature. ​ Don't miss WORK IN PROGRESS!

The Latest: Gary, Indiana's JLin Featured in Pitchfork, Footwork Producer's Album "Black Origami" Out Later This Month The writer Rebecca Bengal profiles JLin (Jerrilynn Patton), "a producer at the vanguard of electronic music", coming out of Chicago & Northwest Indiana's dance music scene. Patton’s music is propelled by the sheer force of her percussion, her ornate, radical progressions, her shape-shifting sounds, an undercurrent of menace. Listening to Jlin tracks is like watching the horror movie heroine open the door into a vast unknown—and yet, she turns out to be completely in control, morphing and bending the rhythm, changing up the narrative again. “I want to surprise me as much as I want to surprise you,” she says. “I love when I hit a person like a tornado. There is no easing. We just go straight in.” Two years ago, when Dark Energy came out, Patton was working swing shifts at U.S. Steel in East Chicago and then, in Gary. She was in the break room when she found out that album made year-end lists at The New York Times, The Wire, and Pitchfork. “I would be banding together these massive pieces of steel and then I would open Facebook, and everyone’s saying, ‘Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations,’ and I’m just like, ‘What are you talking about?’” Within months, Patton, who had never been to a big concert in her entire life, was being flown to perform her own: at a museum in New York City, at a festival in Poland, in Barcelona, Moscow, Australia, India, in Los Angeles. Headlines capitalized on the Flashdance-esque narrative of the steelworker with an inner artistic drive.
