About The Artist:
New York based photographer Fernando Natalici is best known for his iconographic documentation of the downtown Manhattan art scene of the mid/late 70's and early 80's. Natalici’s portfolio includes sought after images of a young Patti Smith, Blondie, Talking Heads, Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, The Ramones and more. As an Art Director, Fernando has played a key role in creating memorable visuals for historic NY venues such as CBGB's, The Mudd Club, Area and Danceteria.
Fernando’s photo archive and art design were recently featured in two highly regarded New York shows: “Area” at The Hole Gallery NYC (2014) & “Downtown New York Film” at The Museum of The Moving Image (2015).
"The Foreigner" is a testament to the "punk" sensibility as manifested at CBGB during this time; the streets and lofts of SoHo and the Lower East Side art scene.
Patti Astor:
Patti Astor opened the legendary East Village Fun Gallery in 1981 with Bill Stelling whom she met at the Mudd Club. Astor, a film actress, was well known on the NYC underground circuit as “The Queen of The Downtown Screen” and it was her ‘celebutante’ status that brought the crowds to this gritty tenement storefront . FUN shot to fame as “the first art gallery in the East Village” and also the first art gallery to give graffiti artists one man shows appearing in PEOPLE Magazine in 1983. Although its tenure was brief the changes it brought to the art world endure.
“FUN Gallery was a place where neighborhood kids, downtown artists, b-boys, rock, film, and rap stars mixed with museum directors art historians and uptown collectors at wild openings featuring artists like Futura, Fab 5 Freddy, Lee Quinones, Kenny Scharf, Keith Haring and Jean Michel Basquiat.” (Paper Magazine, 2012)
