Mark Kostabi Has Big Plans for 2024

He summers in NYC and spends his winters in Italy, and recently, Park West Gallery favorite Mark Kostabi gave an interview to the famed contemporary art magazine Juliet in both English and Italian. In it, he kindly dropped a mention of Park West Gallery about how he will be meeting many VIP collectors personally on the water this year. While details are still being finalized, Park West Gallery will also be hosting Mark Kostabi in our stunning SoHo location at 411 W Broadway in New York City soon!

Mark Kostabi is no stranger to interviews. In fact, in the 1980s, Kostabi would famously interview himself, as a critic of contemporary art, back at a time when he would pop into Andy Warhol’s Factory, when the East Village of Manhattan was an epicenter of the art world, and when he himself was one of the leading protagonists of it.

From having his own television show to writing an advice column for artists and designing legendary covers for famous rock bands like Guns N’ Roses (Use Your Illusion) and The Ramones (Adios Amigos) to having his artwork exhibited in galleries around the globe, Mark Kostabi has seen and done it all. But visual art is just part of his creative story.

Since the age of 12, Mark Kostabi has been playing piano and, in addition to being one of the most important figures in the contemporary art world, he is also an accomplished composer. Kostabi’s music career is still blossoming in 2024, too. He plans to perform concerts in the U.S. and Europe as part of an extremely productive and successful year that will see him selling art with Park West on many cruises, publishing a book, and continuing to produce a series of multi-media events.
