PAUL STANLEY's Artwork To Be Displayed At Arizona Gallery

November 19, 2004

Arizona's GetOut Magazine is reporting that an exhibit of artwork by KISS frontman Paul Stanley is among the planned attractions at The Rock Star Gallery of Music, Collectibles & Celebrity Fine Art — a 2,000-square-foot venue that is scheduled to open its doors this weekend in Scottsdale, AZ.

The brainchild of Valley rock memorabilia collector Michael Dunn, the gallery will open with an exhibit by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Grace Slick, the former JEFFERSON AIRPLANE and STARSHIP singer who abandoned the music business in 1988 and has since concentrated on painting.

Slick's portraits of rock stars like Janis Joplin, Jerry Garcia and Jimi Hendrix, along with "Alice in Wonderland"-themed paintings and brush-style nudes, will be on exhibit Friday through Sunday.

Slick will attend a grand-opening reception 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday.

Dunn, who has been collecting rock memorabilia for more than 20 years, clearly recalls the first piece he ever acquired.

"It was a LED ZEPPELIN bootleg on vinyl," Dunn says. "I bought it at the old Roads to Moscow store on Mill Avenue. When I snagged that, a light went on. Sometimes there's a collector in us and we don't even realize it.

"It just started gaining momentum from there. Unlike something like sports collecting, which is very structured, with music collecting you get it when you can, while you can." Read more.
