From March 14-21, during SXSW, Robert Rodriguez is hosting a curated collection of Frank Frazetta original artwork — twelve masterwork paintings including the iconic CONAN THE BARBARIAN and DEATH DEALER, and artwork from Rodriguez’ upcoming Fire and Ice film, which is based on the works of Frazetta.
Other artworks featured in the gallery includes an original SIN CITY by Frank Miller and original FIRST BLOOD and THE THING art from Drew Struzan, along with original movie props from Rodriguez’ films and painted portraits of characters from his films that he himself and actors from his movies have done, including paintings by Josh Brolin, Rosario Dawson, Bruce Willis, Lady Gaga, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Original art from Sebastian Krueger and bronze sculptures by Clete Shields are also featured in the gallery.
There will also be a selection of hand numbered giclée prints of Frazetta pieces photographed and printed by Robert Rodriguez available for purchase. Proceeds from the prints and merchandise benefit the preservation of Frank Frazetta’s art.
The gallery will be open to the public daily starting Saturday, March 14th – Saturday, March 21st from Noon – 8 pm. The museum is located at 920 Congress Ave. in Austin, TX. The gallery will have a $10 entrance fee benefiting the preservation of Frank Frazetta art.
The idea for the museum has been long in the making. Robert Rodriguez, along with the cooperation of the Frazetta family, has been touring Frank Frazetta original art at Comic Con and Wizard Con to continue the wish of Frank Frazetta, a friend and collaborator of Robert’s who always wanted audiences to see his paintings in person. The original Frazetta museum in upstate New York closed after the passing of Frank Frazetta in 2010. The new Rodriguez museum features other world class artists Robert has also worked with and studied under over the years, with art that he’s collected himself, and others that are on exclusive loan for this event.
The FRANK FRAZETTA COLLECTION has an unprecedented amount of original masterpieces including Death Dealer 2, Egyptian Queen, At the Earth’s Core, Conan Man Ape and Dark Kingdom, as well a rare original painting Frazetta did for the movie FROM DUSK TIL DAWN among others, 12 original masterpiece paintings total.
