Description
Oliver Peterson
“Super-Stars” (Starbury Sneakers for Ellen's Run: Sneakers del Arte Benefit)
Mixed media/acrylic on Sneakers
Size 12, 2007 SOLD

Java, but part of my superheroes collection of pieces.

These were made for Sneakers del Arte, a benefit auction to raise money to fight Breast Cancer, as an additional event to "Ellen's Run" a mini-marathon in Bridgehampton where runners get sponsored.

The sneakers are Stephon Marbury's "Starbury" sneakers--the $17 sneakers he produced to be affordable to all kids from all economic backgrounds, so no one kills eachother over shoes.

All the artists/celebs got a pair to paint.

Among the participants:

John Waters
Ross Bleckner
Dale Chihuly
April Gornik
Billy Joel
Dr. John
Betsey Johnson
Donna Karan
Jennifer Miller
Dennis Oppenheim
Paton Miller
Itzhak Perlman
Buzzcocks
Audrey Flack
Davis Geiser (he's awesome)
Mercedes Ruehl
Robert Wilson

Event was on August 18, 2007. Sneakers sold, but I'm not sure for how much.
