Cat Artist Debuts New Installation

Cat Artist Debuts New Installation

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

Art fans in the Los Angeles area have something new to check out this weekend – the acclaimed artist Ron the cat has just unveiled his latest collection of works. Scheduled for display until late March, the installation showcases just some of the pop art that Ron has become renowned for.

“Most people think pop art is a 60’s thing,” says modern art critic Norman Freese. “Warhol and Lichtenstein certainly led the way back then, but Ron is blazing the trail for a whole new generation of artists. It’s really exciting.”

Among the works is “Cat Diptych,” a silkscreen painting of none other than Ron himself. The piece is expected to fetch a high sum at auction.

“Ron’s works are highly valued in the contemporary art market,” says Freese. “These pieces will likely net six figures each – though I doubt they’ll command the price ‘Tuna Fish Cans’ did. That thing made a killing.”
