Basketball legend meets art legend in Peter Max’s recent life-size painting of Shaquille O’Neal. Pop Icon Peter Max, whom Park West Gallery has proudly had a relationship with for over 40 years, created this artwork for the Size DOES Matter exhibit, which was curated by Shaq.
Size DOES Matter, which is now on view at the FLAG Art Foundation, includes works from international artists and explores the myriad ways that scale affects the perception of contemporary art. This large Max artwork will be prominently featured in the exhibition, and it’s expected to draw a large crowd as it is America’s most well known and collected artist’s latest publicized painting.
Peter Max recently sat down for an interview with Fox’s local New York news anchors, during which he gave the public a glimpse of his painting and discussed Shaq’s visit to his studio. Watch the full interview below.
