Bebop Bunny - Ink & Gouache
Playboy Redux
Contemporary Artists Interpret the Iconic Playboy Bunny
Rotofugi Gallery, Chicago - August 27 - September 12, 2010
Playboy Enterprises in collaboration with The Warhol Museum
(Pittsburgh) invited over 20 contemporary and street artists to
reinterpret the iconic Playboy Bunny in celebration of the opening of
the first Playboy Club in Chicago 50 years ago in 1960. Known at that
time for her satin bunny suit, cotton tail and rabbit ears, the Playboy
Bunny served cocktails and glamour in equal doses. Many luminaries once
worked as Bunnies, including Deborah Harry, Gloria Steinem and Lauren
Hutton. For Playboy Redux: Contemporary Artists Interpret the Iconic Playboy Bunny, the selected artists have
presented a number of new takes on this iconic image.
