A PETER MAX HOMAGE TO A SEPTEMBER 11 VICTIM


The Kellys and other residents of the Reeves Park area in Riverhead will keep the memory of Tom Kelly and others who died on Sept. 11 alive Sunday with a candlelight vigil march up Park Road, which is also named in honor of Tom Kelly several years ago. A memorial in Tom Kelly’s honor stands at the corner of Sound Avenue and Park Road/Thomas Kelly Memorial Drive.

This is a very significative Peter Max piece, for it's made with the style characteristic of him, yet respecting the ocassion with toned down colors and a perfect Mixed Media background.

Miracle: Jesus Appears in Drag in TX Republican’s Watercolor Painting

According to the news, this individual was emulating a Peter Max Statue of Liberty.I would not have used the "drag" connotation, but perhaps a "masculine rendering of the Statue".

THE CONTINENTAL BOEING 777

CONSIDERED BY PM AS ONE OF HIS BEST WORKS

Continental Airlines commissioned artist Peter Max to design this special color scheme as a salute for "NYC 2000" and New York City. It was unveiled in November 1999. Boeing 777-224 ER N77014 (msn 29862) awaits runway departure clearance at London's Gatwick Airport. This great shot is available as a color print from the Airliners Gallery Photo Library (http://www.airlinersgallery.com). (Antony J. Best)


 The CONTINENTAL 777 Peter Max special landing
 


 Newly arrived detailed die cast version 12 inches long



One of Continental Airlines' Boeing 777 aircraft (registered N77014) sported 
a special livery designed by Max. The livery was removed
in the winter of 2007–2008 (wikipedia)
This is a beautifully hand made wooden replica  of aprox. 8 inches.
I believe it was originally painted  around 2002.


 His art has flown the skies on a Continental Airlines 777 Super Jet. His installations include a 600-ft stage for the Woodstock Music Festival, a giant mural 
for the Winter Olympics and 10-ft guitars for the Rock & 
Roll Hall of Fame ( from www.petermax.com, meet Peter)
