Title Round Simone Shubuck Makeout , 2006 Lithograph, edition of 40 Framed: 19 3/4 x 15 1/2 inches Estimated Value Range: $500 - $800 Starting Bid: $200 Bidding increments: $50 More: Simone Shubuck Born in 1969, Simone Shubuck received a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. She has had a solo exhibition with Zach Feuer Gallery (LFL) in New York and has exhibited works in New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo and San Francisco. Her work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Tokion, Elle, The Fader, ARTnews and is included in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art. Shubuck’s work is informed by a range of experiences, from her days as a graffiti artist in San Francisco in the early 90’s to her years as a flower designer in New York City. She professes an affinity for Viennese Secessionists and Art Nouveau practices as well as the work of such outsider artists as Edmund Monsieul and Lee Godie. Her visual style parallels her obsession with the layered sampling of hip-hop artists like Jay-Z, Dipset, Cam’ron and Young Jeezy. Another notable influence comes from her maternal grandmother and great-grandmother, who were skilled bakers and embroiderers.

Title Round Chrissie Hynde Extrémal Flower, 2019 Oil on canvas 36 x 24 inches Estimated Value Range: $6,000 - $9,000 Starting Bid: $3,000 Chrissie Hynde is a true icon, both in rock music and the art world. As the founder, lead vocalist, guitarist, and legendary songwriter of The Pretenders, she redefined the genre with her unique blend of punk, new wave, reggae, and metal. Her career, spanning over four decades, is marked by resilience and creativity. From The Pretenders' groundbreaking 1979 debut album to her latest album Relentless , released 44 years later, Hynde has remained an enduring force in music despite incredible challenges. Yet, her artistic journey doesn’t stop at music. Born in Akron, and a former Kent State art student, Hynde has always felt a calling to return to painting. In 2015, Hynde began making art in earnest, bringing her bold and distinctive vision to life. Her work, featured at venues like Broadbent, London, and MASS MoCA, encompasses a diverse range of styles, from portraiture to abstraction. In Extremal Flower , Hynde portrays an imaginary scene, a floral still life floating amid various shapes. Hynde’s spontaneous approach to painting, influenced by what she sees around her, along with her whimsical and intuitive use of color, imbues artworks like this one with a sense of immediacy and energy. More: Chrissie Hynde Chrissie Hynde was born in Akron, Ohio in 1951 and attended Kent State University's art school for three years. While at Kent State she joined a band with Mark Mothersbaugh who would go on to found Devo. Hynde is better known as a founder, lead vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter for The Pretenders. She has been a lover of art throughout her life. Hynde says, “I always thought I would get into painting, but I got waylaid by rock ‘n’ roll. Finally, I thought, ‘Now’s the time.’ As soon as I could be alone and paint without any interruptions, I just couldn’t stop.” She rekindled a love of painting that predates her passion for music. With bold lines and a distinctive palette, Hynde’s work ricochets between portraiture, still life, landscape, and abstraction. Her work has been featured at Broadbent, MASS MoCA, and the Franklin Bowles Gallery in New York. In 2018, the collection Adding the Blue was published featuring nearly 200 original paintings.
