The Vader Project is a head-turning collection of 100 Darth Vader Helmets designed by some of today’s hottest underground and pop painters, artists and designers including: Marc Ecko, Peter Kuper, Attaboy, Gary Baseman, Tim Biskup, Dalek, Paul Frank, Ron English, Jeff Soto, Michelle Valigura, Frank Kozik, Wade Lageose, Joe Ledbetter, Alex Pardee, Suckadelic, Cameron Tiede, Shag, Mister Cartoon, Amanda Visell and many more.
Each artist was given an authentic prop replica of the actual Darth Vader helmet used in the STAR WARS™ films and was the blank slate for each artist to get his Vader on. Completing its epic world tour, The Vader Project returns to Los Angeles in June for a special ten-day exhibition in Hollywood as a preview to the upcoming Freeman’s Auction in Philadelphia. The Los Angeles Preview Exhibition is free with an opening reception on June 11 from 6-10pm. On June 12, there will be a catalog signing event with over 20 participating artists in attendance beginning at 2pm. The Los Angeles Preview Exhibition is open June 12-20 daily from Noon to 6pm.
Then, in July, The Vader Project travels to Freeman’s Auctioneers and Appraisers in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for the final opportunity to view the helmets in person before they are sold at auction. The Freeman's Auction takes place July 10, 2010 at Freeman’s Auction House in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania preceded by a 5-day exhibition there July 5-9.
