MAIN GALLERY: Ralph Steadman: and Another Thing

This traveling exhibition spans over 60 years of Ralph Steadman’s influential career, featuring more than 140 original artworks and ephemera, including sketchbooks, handwritten notes, and personal photographs. Steadman is best known for his long collaboration with Hunter S. Thompson, notably illustrating "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." Their partnership helped define Gonzo journalism, a style of reporting that blends personal experience with political commentary. Coined by journalist Bill Cardoso, Gonzo’s impact is still felt today in online news, editorial pieces, social media, and political punditry.

The exhibition showcases his diverse body of work, from iconic illustrations for Lewis Carroll’s "Alice in Wonderland" and Robert Louis Stevenson’s "Treasure Island" to collections like "The Gonzovation Trilogy," created in collaboration with documentarian and filmmaker Ceri Levy to raise awareness about endangered species. Featured works include nine portraits of U.S. Presidents, over 20 images of famous people, including T.S. Eliot, Karl Marx, Virginia Woolf, and George Orwell, and "Vintage Dr. Gonzo," a life-size bronze sculpture.

This exhibition is organized by the Ralph Steadman Art Collection. Sponsored by United Therapeutics, Flying Dog, and Beta Technologies.

GALLERY TWO: Ian Larson: Some Dirty Karma

Ian Larson's paintings are presentations of visceral bacchanalia and degenerative portraiture. They offer glimpses into unfolding narratives, focusing on the human figure situated within fantasized yet representational environments. Centered on characters embedded in their own social contexts—where fictitious chaos converges with overt references, satire, violence, and humor—the works examine animalistic, mortal, and carousing impulses, marked by an exploited and often tragic exiguity.

DARK ROOM: Barbara Streisand Portrait Bender: Fear & Loathing Returns to the Flamingo, a video work by artist Tom Dunn.
