Whether a motorcycle enthusiast or not the upcoming
photography exhibit at PROJECT Gallery will make anyone a fan of Indian Larry. Perhaps
one of the most beloved figures to ever exist in the motorcycle world, after a
past of drug abuse and homelessness, he would become known equally for the mind
bending choppers he created as he would his wild antics, tattoos, generosity, and his carnivalesque
character and stunts. Larry
Desmedt is quite the interesting subject.
For acclaimed celebrity photographer Timothy White who has shot
legends and icons for over twenty years, Larry
was all that and more. The two became longtime friends and riding
partners and Larry would become one of White’s most profound subjects.
White immortalized
the late motorcycle builder in a previously published book, and the
exhibit at
PROJECT Gallery is the LA premiere retrospective excerpted from the book.
We are so looking forward to tomorrow's event with Michael Brennan at Design Within Reach on Beverly. This week brought a lot of great developments and press coverage of these very special photos of Muhammad Ali and his competitors. Local write ups in LA CONFIDENTIAL and LA TIMES were fantastic and well deserved...
It's been great working with Robert at Design Within Reach, the ladies of Evolutionary Media Group, and of course our new friends at Artworks gallery.
In addition it's great to have the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center on board, and lastly, to honor Joe Frazier we have added a special image taken by Michael Brennan to the exhibit. It's these touching and charitable parts of events & the opportunity to pay tribute to icons that makes us love to do what we do.
We are expecting many special guests and it will be a really great evening. Photos will abound, so stay tuned.
