Clayton Patterson “$16 Burger Show” at Galerie Au Bon Punk, New York
Clayton Patterson is a little recognized but prolific painter, photographer, and embroiderer who has been a visionary of Manhattan’s Lower East Side for decades. The show features never befor seen work, historic embroidered hats (which have been collected by the likes of Gus Van Sant, Matt Dillon, Mick Jagger, and Thomas Guinzburg) as well as Clayton’s icon art. The exhibition is presented by Galerie Au Bon Punk, a collective partially comprised by the punk-rock group Dameht, and serves as a farwell for Clayton before he moves away from NYC.
