Sortis tour à tour, L’aventure du Poseïdon (1972), La tour infernale (1974) et Tremblement de terre (1974) dominent aisément le boxoffice mondial. Mais après avoir décrit le naufrage d’un paquebot, un incendie dans un gratte-ciel géant, et un cataclysme à Los Angeles, quels autres sujets pouvait-on exploiter sans lasser le public ? KONGTOBER 19 — 1977 King Kong Lunchbox by Thermos. Remember the days when every kid at school had a metal lunchbox?

The cool kids were lugging this one around… This King Kong lunchbox by Thermos was released in 1977 to coincide with the media blitz that accompanied the release of the movie. They sure got their money’s worth with the John Berkey artwork, as it appears on all sorts of merchandise. This image of Kong on Skull Island was used on some of the movie posters, but it’s nowhere near as iconic as the art of Kong straddling the twin towers.

Apparently, the artist, John Berkey, painted several versions of King Kong, but the art department wanted to make sure that the ape looked the same in all instances, so they literally cut and pasted the twin tower face onto the other paintings, like the one of Kong in the jungle and this one of Kong grabbing a subway train.

Paul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of nine new, large-scale watercolor paintings by Walton Ford, on view for the first time, at 293 Tenth Avenue.

The most monumental watercolors that Ford has painted to date, three of the works measure approximately 9 x 12 feet on a single sheet of paper. These nine paintings are grouped into two series of work: one comprising three portraits of King Kong; and the other six meditations on a passage from the memoirs of the ornithologist John James Audubon (1785- 1851). Both series were painted in 2011, and are consistent with Ford’s practice of expanding the visual language and narrative scope of traditional natural history painting. The first series, presenting three huge portraits of King Kong, is based on the 1933 movie co-directed by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Ford’s second series, which depicts a monkey capturing and strangling a parrot, was inspired by an unsettling passage from Audobon’s memoirs.
