A Whimsical Evening with David Weidman

artist appearance,  signing and private portfolio sale of David Weidman. This event gives fans the opportunity to meet the artist and to see the largest selection of original prints available outside of his studio.  Original, signed Weidman serigraphs and posters -- including many from the artist’s private portfolio -- will be on exhibit and available for purchase.  In addition, Mr. Weidman will sign copies of The Whimsical Works of David Weidman (and also some serious ones), an informative, full-color biography of his highly creative life and work published in 2008. Refreshments will be served.  Additional information and images of Mr. Weidman’s extensive portfolio of work can be found at www.inretrospect.co.
 
David Weidman's name may not be familiar, but his work certainly is. David began his career in the animation studios and was involved in the creation of many animated classics including Mr. Magoo, Gerald McBoing Boing and Fractured Fairytales. Later he opened a gallery on the famed La Cienega Boulevard which showcased his formidable talent in the silkscreen print medium. His unique and whimsical view of the world is captured in his highly collectible vintage serigraphs and posters. Today, at the age of 89, Mr. Weidman's staggering body of work, with its graphic sensibility and expert use of saturated color, is just as modern and relevant as it was forty years ago.
