My husband Allan and I traveled to New York where we were invited to PETER MAX's office for a private reception.  There we enjoyed seeing the inner sanctum of one of America's cultural legends.  I was absolutely thrilled to see so many large pieces of his work.  His collection of eclectic souvenirs included President Clinton's saxaphone, a full-sized fiberglass cow, a 6' tall soda pop bottle and the signed piano from 'Ringo Starr' all glowing in psychedelic colors painted by the man himself.

The best part of this experience was being invited into PETER MAX's personal painting studio by Peter himself.  He was warm and genuine as he welcomed me by shaking my hand and showing me where he creates his art.  He showed me his painting easels, brushes, paints and the DJ booth he has set up in the corner of the room.  TURNTABLES!  lol - apparently he likes to paint accompanied by a musical muse and has someone come in and keep the tunes going for him while other members of the entourage jam on bongos and other percussion instruments. GROOVY COOL!!!
