The list is long, but I’ll give you a brief history of my art exhibits over the years. I’ve left out hundreds of shows with the same galleries to avoid a boring list. I seem to have anywhere from five to fifteen shows a year every year, with the exception of my “vacation times”, short intervals between painting and sculpting and music and theater and dance and ceramic arts, paper arts, you know — exploration and application. I know you’ll want this for your eBay and other art listings, so here’s the SHORT list — the whole list can be found in the Linda Corriveau photobiography, “More Color, Less Soul”.

A very short list compared to the list from which I drew it, but it gives you some background of my art shows. I’ve been a selling artist for over half a century now, and people are still paying me to have fun! I highly recommend it as a course of action — painting, I mean, not paying me — that I can do with or without.
It’s all in the exploration and the “finding” of the “right way”, the time-tunnel that leads to the target of your artwork. Every “Objective” artwork is a functioning wormhole with a specific trigger to activate the mechanism — in the case of art, it’s generally emotional, but there are multiple keys to the more complex or advanced realms.
Objective Art has only one meaning. It is an operating key-activated wormhole to somewhere specific.
You can use the list above in your eBay listings to indicate my background as an artist and to reinforce that I’ve been on the market a long, long time and my art market is still thriving.
Note that this list is only of shows with a couple of notable exceptions. The list of celebrity collectors is many pages long, and includes dozens of jazz greats, movie and television stars, authors, scientists and of course, fellow artists.
A very abbreviated “collectors” list would include King Hussein & Queen Noor of Jordan, Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, Peggy Lee, Billy Barty, Jonathan Winters, Vincent Price, Curtis Armstrong, Harry Nilsson, Catherine Oxenberg, Heather Valencia, the whole Marsalis family, Vijay Iyer, Lionel Loueke, Isaac James, Borrina Mapaka, Miguel Zenon, Jenny Scheinman, Toots Thielemans, George Kennedy, James Coburn, Twiggy (Leslie Hornby), Phil Bruns, Jill Andre, Robert Morse, Dale Morse, Barry Morse, Tiny Tim, Jim Morrison, Mama Cass, Bob Heinlein, Robert Conrad, Jose Ferrer, Gene Barry, David Carradine, Robert Carradine, Keith Carradine, Sammy Davis, Jr., Joseph Pevney, Michael Garrison, Peter Lawford, Sharon Tate, Eva Gabor, Forry Ackerman and many, many more, if you include works on paper and sculpture.
My Hollywood Glamor photography career would add names like Doris Day, Grace Slick, Jerry Garcia, Ray Brown, Dr. John, The Monkees and the Beatles and many more celebrity names to the already far-too-long list. Someday, a complete list will be made, but for now, the short list should do, at least for marketing and promotional purposes.
See You At the Top!!!
