The gallery and exhibition open with a party on Thursday, July 15th, from 8PM until Midnight. Refreshments will be served.
Jay Rogers has been a collector and promoter of Underground Comix and art since the early Seventies. He was one of the first people to see the value and potential of Underground Art as a serious medium outside of the comics industry, and was instrumental in placing Robert Crumb's work squarely into the New York Gallery scene. His expansive collection has been used as a reference for numerous art shows and films, he has worked as a consultant for Sotheby's and Christie's Auctions, and has provided art and books to Heritage Auctions.
