Vernissage in Cologne Germany 2013. from FABNEWYORK on Vimeo.
This exhibit at Martina Kaiser’s Cologne gallery came together as a homage to a dear friend who passed away not long ago, Ica Souvignier. Her husband and noted Gerrman film producer, Michael Souvignier, is also a photographer and less then 2 months before, he invited me to exhibit some of my paintings with his photos at the Martina Kaiser gallery there in April. Ica would have truly loved the idea and gesture. Old friends came out in force including members of Germanys most noted rock band, The Toten Hosen who I once recorded a song with in the 1980’s.
