Andrew Edlin Gallery presents the first New York gallery exhibition of drawings by celebrated artist Bruce Bickford (1947-2019). Best known for his groundbreaking 1970s stop-motion animations for Frank Zappa, Bickford was a prolific independent animator and illustrator whose legacy of films, graphic novels and drawings are rooted in a narrative blend of B-movies, advertising icons, war, alternate histories and paranormal phenomena.

The Uplands presents works created from 2012 until the artist’s passing and includes a series focused on the structure of Bickford’s fictional Pacific-Northwest landscape; outtakes from his graphic novel Vampire Picnic; and a suite of images depicting Zappa himself, which will be displayed at Electric Lady Studios.

Electric Lady Studios 52 W 8th St, by appointment

A series of his animations will also be screening at both exhibitions.
