NEW YORK, NY – Jan Larsen’s Market Makers is opening September 17th, 2015 at Hoerle-Guggenheim Gallery. Market Makers is Jan’s reflection on the exchange that takes place between art and commerce in the markets each day, drawing inspiration from the era that gave birth to mass-marketing and modern American consumer culture, on Madison Avenue in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s, as well as the past fifteen years of his own work in fine art. The show will be up at the Hoerle-Guggenheim Gallery at 527 West 23rd Street, New York, NY 10011, through October 10th, 2015.

A son of art collectors, curators, and educators, Jan was raised amongst fine art and the artistic process.
