June 24, 2007

DICK DUERRSTEIN has been captivating collectors for 15 years with his playful interpretation of beloved animation characters. He was the Creative Director for Walt Disney Studio's Consumer Products Division for 22 years and worked alongside many of the leading animation artists of the 20th century, including his primary influence, Chuck Jones. DUERRSTEIN's artwork has had a broad spectrum of exposure; illustration, album covers, clothing, as well as fine collectibles like cel portfolios, art glass, and furniture.

DUERRSTEIN's work can be found in the Walt Disney Studio corporate offices, Burbank, California; The Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. and St. Jude's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee and private collections worldwide.

BARKER ANIMATION FINE ART & SCULPTURES will premier DUERRSTEIN's original paintings and limited edition giclees on canvas featuring both Disney and Warner Bros. classic characters. The artist will personally dedicate artwork purchased during the opening day event. During an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, DUERRSTEIN will be leading an interactive painting performance where members of the audience will have a chance to help him paint everyone's favorite animated mouse (Mickey).
