J Scott Campbell Gallery, With Art Worth $750,000, to Open in New York Tonight

Metropolis Gallery's new J. Scott Campbell exhibit – which opens for New York Comic Con weekend – offers comic art fans and collectors the opportunity to not only view and purchase the artist's work but also chat with him at the opening reception. The gallery reception will be held tonight, Friday, October 4th from 6-9 pm and is open to the public. I've just added it to Bleeding Cool's Insanely Big New York Comic Con Party List 2019.

More than 120 pieces of original art – valued at $750,000 in total – will be on display. Campbell is best known for his series Danger Girl and his work on titles such as Gen 13, Amazing Spider-Man and Black Cat. He is also known for his Marvel exclusive variant covers and FairyTale Fantasies pin-up art, which includes a line of Sideshow collectible statues.

"Scott's work has such a distinctive line," says Metropolis Gallery curator and owner Vincent Zurzolo. "His heroes and heroines are incredibly eye-catching and beyond dynamic. Every time you see one of his covers, you immediately know it's his."

His Metropolis exhibit will include wide-ranging artwork featuring Spider-Man, Mary Jane, Gwen Stacy, Black Cat, X-Men, Batman, Danger Girl, Fantastic Four, Spawn, Spider-Gwen, Conan, Wolverine, Venom, Captain Marvel and more."Various pieces are priced from $350-$55,000," notes Zurzolo, "So there is something for collectors at every level. We've had clients begging to scoop up certain pieces before the exhibit even opens, so we expect this to be one of our busiest shows."

After opening night, the exhibit will run Tuesdays through Fridays from 11am-5pm until the show closes on January 31st, 2020. The gallery's permanent rotating exhibit also will be available for viewing.

Metropolis Gallery is located at 36 West 37th Street, 6th Floor, ten minutes from the Javits Center. Buzz to go up.
