Petersen Museum Ed Roth Exhibit Pictures

I don't know if you can read this any better. There is a few hambers artists that I know of.....Lucky

 

That's my Fink next to Mark Mothersbaugh's Rat Fink Stew! How cool is that! I get to be part of this exibit and be next to the guy from DEVO. What an honor it's been. Too bad they spelled my name wrong here and in the book. It's Scheres, not Sheres. Ah well, close enough. Oh, and the book is well worth the $$ for anyone who hasn't picked it up yet. Lotsa cool Finks!

 

Anybody see (or have a pic) the nudie Miss Fink? Disturbing. Good and disturbing...

 

I thought I recognized some names but I didn't want to speak for guys I don't know.

How about a voluntary roll call/count? How many talented HAMBers were represented at the exhibit?

s.

 

I'll jump in. Me and my pal Steve weiler did the one called "S**** Iron Tribute"
Its Ratfink with welding goggles and one welding glove making a metal sculpture of Big DaddyRoth after hours in the back of Roth Studios.
We were invited to display the Finkosel, but we just couldnt get it done in time. Its close, but you only get one chance to make a first impression...

I think the Statue of Liberty Fink is Killer!!!!!!
Cmon you other Hambers , Which RF is yours?????

 

Mine is #41 on the list:The Rad Fink on the surfboard supported by a can of 1-Shot.

 

Damn, Ray... I'm 58. If I start right now and work really hard every day could I ever learn to letter like you do? I envy the **** out of your lettering...

 

Here's a shot of mine before I shipped it off. Sometimes I miss livin in California. I'd like to have attended the show in person but too far away now. Thanks for posting the pics!

 

.....

 

mine is number 10, almost didn't want to send the little creep off!

 

I visited it today... very fortunate to have been here visiting the girlfriend and heard about here. The talent on the hamb always amazes me.

My poor g/f was so patient with me, I was back there for ages.

 

Do you guys that did these rat finks get them back when the show is over? Or are they donated? And where would they go?

 

I'm there!! Maybe I'll head over at lunch break!?

 

i thought the mysterion was long gone? that must be a repro?

 

Here's a shot of my garage wall.................been a Roth/Fink fan since I was about 3 or 4......

 

GREAT post!

Looks to me like these are the same ones, some of the same, that were displayed in teh Continental Club during the Lonestar RoundUp this past April

 

Dave Shuten from Dorr Michigan built it.He is currently finishing up his own bubbletop show car called,"AstroSled".Should be at the Grand Rapids Autorama in January.

 

They're gonna be auctioned off after the show with a 50/50 split between the artist and the Roth estate...

 

All the contributors get a copy of the book. Mine showed up today so check your mailboxes! I already bought a copy so I guess someone's getting one for Christmas.

 

Yep that was the opening, I heard these are off to New York and Japan before being auctioned off?? Johnny Ace and Kali did the show Poster for the Opening. if ya don't have one yet get one! I think he may still have a few left...

 

Thanks bud, I'll PM him and check.

 

Nice exhibit. The year I was there they had woodies. I've been a Roth fan since I was a kid in the 60's. I'm amazed that he has influenced many generations with his work. My last poster of his is autographed in 99.

 

Here are a few shots from yesterdays visit. It seemed like the gods were against me to get there... Drank too much the night before then we got locked outta the g/f's place. After using my Macgyver skills we were in the apartment and on the way to the petersen.




















The g/f being patient and learning a little about the man




















The nice ole dude that took the shot for us... well its the thought that counts, we both really dig this photo anyhow.

 

The last few

 

Here are a couple pics of my Custom Fink.




Awsome show, a must see in person.
Thanks all...

That is bad ***. On so many levels.

I've never heard of any Roth connection to that car. It was built in the late '50s/early '60s and then was in a small picture in Street Rodder in the early '70s saying the then current owner had found the old kustom coupe in a creek and revived it. I didn't see it again till I saw pictures of this Roth event. All definitely the same car. That new red version looks kinda cheap with the lack of chrome bits and no wide whites.

Now that I see it's striped I bet Ed striped it later in his career.
