'Get Rich Quick' opens at Carmichael Gallery...

The Carmichael Gallery just opened 'Get Rich Quick' - an all-star group show of after market works from the collections of the gallery's patrons including: Adam Neate, Antony Micallef, Banksy, Barry McGee, Bast, D*Face, Dalek, David Choe, David Choong Lee, Faile, Herbert Baglione, Ian Francis, KAWS, Nick Walker, Paul Insect, Shepard Fairey, Sixeart, Skullphone, Space Invader, Swoon, Will Barras and many more. The buzz on this one was large, and the gallery was packed throughout the evening. Made the trek out to the gallery with Allison Sommers and Joao Ruas in tow...

Wall of KAWS goodness...

An iconic Faile from their 1st show up at Fifty24SF... had for $150 originally... god bless the art market... now $15K (not much more than a few years later)...

By far the monster piece of the show from the one and only BANKSY...

Fellow Brazilians meet for the 1st time - Joao Ruas with Thais Beltrame...

Whose 'When All The Stars Are Gone' solo also opened in conjunction with 'Get Rich Quick'. Profiled here in an earlier post, the works of Beltrame need to be viewed in person, as does her delicatley intricate constellation installation.
