Scooter Laforge Releases First Published Survey; “QUEER FROM ZERO TO A HUNDRED”
For the first day of summer in New York, Scooter LaForge is offering the FIRST PUBLISHED SURVEY of his work. This book of images will feature all of the sexy trash and
trashy sex that has quickly made this artist a legend. Highlights include celebrity collaborations, paintings and some of his iconic fashions, and it will be a limited edition print so be sure to get yours while supplies last. Editions go on sale during opening night of “QUEER FROM ZERO TO A HUNDRED.” This show will open in conjunction with New York’s Gay Pride, and continue for 2 months, offering the public a rare glimpse of work as well as the opportunity to purchase this rare offering. This show, focusing on the queer aspects of his work, ties in with a legacy that has seen Scooter LaForge rise from San Fransisco notable, even designing the 2010 Castro Street Fair logo, to an enticing artist who is decidedly one to watch. With 20 paintings, sculptures, and drawings under one roof for the first time ever, “QUEER FROM ZERO TO A HUNDRED” will be a full-throttle glimpse into his highly charged world.
The price for the book is $60 or $100 for a book with a tee shirt!!!! xxoxoox
