Mindscape Guggenheim, AKA Guggenheim #7
Introducing “Mindscape Guggenheim”, aka, “Guggenheim #7”. In 2009, I completed and swiftly sold a 30″X30″ painting of Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece.

Following my agency paintings at Headroom Digital and SS+K, Mark Ferdman of Freedom + Partners was kind enough to invite me to their space on 20 Jay Street in DUMBO. It was a four day process that took nearly two weeks, thanks to the weather of late.
