Wesley Willis Art

Update: "White House on the North Side" Sold

Written about previously here, it went for $1,000. It's definitely rare, but the fact that it went for so much is a good sign about the market. May 31, 2007

Exhibition WW vs. GRRRR at Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen, 28th April – 24th June 2007

A commenter pointed me to this gallery catalog and art show over in Europe of Wesley Willis Art. Some great work.

Double Wesley Willis at David Leonardis Gallery

Double Wesley Willis, originally uploaded by juggernautco.

From David Leonardis Gallery. Extremely rare, excellent example of the intense detail of early Wesley Willis. This is from 1984. "Chicago Downtown" on the left-- seems to be a view of Michigan Avenue looking north from Grant Park. On the right is "Shoreline", right about Adams, at the marina. Notice the crazy detail of the ships, including people on deck. Best viewed large.

Wesley Willis United Center

Excellent example of a fresh, pleine aire drawing done in the corner of a phone-it-in Chicago skyline. There are a few rare examples of this-- not exactly sure how he did it. Sold for $475. May 5, 2007
