Play Me, I'm Yours

 

 

Did you see Andre's piano in the "Play Me, I'm Yours" exhibition last spring? His sparkling piano, one of thirty scattered throughout the Los Angeles area, was hosted by the American Cinematheque at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. The "Play Me, I'm Yours" public art project, created by British artist Luke Jerram, has been touring internationally since 2008. More than 700 pianos have been installed in thirty cities across the globe, from New York to China, bearing the simple instruction "Play Me, I’m Yours." In 2012, pianos were shared with the public in twelve cities from Toronto to China! Click here to see many more pictures and videos of Andre's piano being enjoyed by a delighted public.

"Hollywood" - 2012

Andre has donated a new mixed media piece entitled "Hollywood" to this auction/show.

From the Arboretum website:

"More than 75 generous and highly accomplished artists have come together in an exhibition on the anniversary of the catastrophic windstorm that struck San Gabriel Valley a year ago. Proceeds raised by the sale of the artwork will benefit the Arboretum Tree Fund, contributing to the purchase of new trees and restoring the haven the Arboretum has provided and will continue to provide for future generations.

"Curated by Leigh Adams, 'Forces of Nature' is a unique opportunity for the public to enjoy, participate, and contribute to this historic collection of trees, gardens and architectural landmarks. The three-day exhibition runs Friday-Sunday, November 30-December 2, 2012, 9am-4:30pm." 

Sales of the art will commence with a special live, silent auction the evening of Friday, November 30, in Ayres Hall. A reception starts at 6pm; the auction is from 8 to 9pm.  Arboretum members $15; non-members $20.  For reservations, please call 626.821.3237.
