About Gallery1988
Gallery1988, opened in 2004, is the world's #1 destination for pop culture art. With its roots in Los Angeles, its opening night receptions have seen upwards of 2,000 attendees and overnight lines of almost 30 hours. They've created art shows like Crazy 4 Cult, where 100 artists create pieces inspired by classic cult films, and worked with luminaries like Stan Lee, Beastie Boys, Weird Al Yankovic and JJ Abrams to create art shows, packed with affordable paintings and prints, all based around the influence they've had on emerging artists. Gallery1988 has also partnered with companies like Paramount Pictures, ABC, Disney, Mattel, Sony and FunnyOrDie to utilize "artvertising," a method coined by G1988 to create organic, heartfelt advertising using the 1000's of artists within their network. They shaped and produced a final season marketing campaign for the TV show "LOST" that was deemed "marketing genius" by Entertainment Weekly.
