It’s not a real Ferrari 250GT Spyder California but a replica John Hughs had made for the Ferris Bueller’s Day Off movie. ”Only 100 of the original were made between 1958 and 1963, making it super-rare, so John Hughes and Paramount actually had a replica made for filming. Which is the one being sold now.

Gagosian Gallery is to open Roy Lichtenstein: Still Lifes, the first ever exhibition dedicated to this particular segment of the artists oeuvre. Lichtenstein’s experiments with still life began in 1972 and continued for almost a decade. Using his typical Ben-Day dot style, Lichtenstein turned the historic genre into a pop art experience – many of the 50 works on display taking direct influence from print advertisements.
Exhibition runs from to May 8th to July 30th, 2010.

Scott Campbell presents a series of his trademark cut currency work and three-dimensional pieces, alongside prints and hologram paintings. His subject matter and iconography translate blue-collar grit and the lore of tattoo culture. Although communicating with this lowbrow parlance, he delivers work that is supremely defined, deliberate, and meticulously executed.
Exhibition runs through to May 30th, 2010.
