The Hour Wizdom Gallery, Bonzai Ltd., and Jay Rogers are proud to present "Time Capsules: Original Underground Art of the 60's, 70's and Beyond...", an exhibition and sale of rare Underground Comix Original Art. The show will span an amazing range of work from many celebrated cartoonists from the Sixties to the Eighties, including: R. Crumb, Vaughn and Mark Bode, Rick Griffin, Jay Lynch, Victor Moscoso, Skip Williamson, Kim and Simon Deitch, Robert Williams, S. Clay Wilson, Trina Robbins, Justin Green, Dori Seda, Bill Griffith, Howard Cruse, Roberta Gregory, Guy Colwell, and Dan O'Neill, Shary Flenniken, Bobby London, and Gary Hallgren from The Air Pirates Studios. The gallery and exhibition open with a party on Thursday, July 15th, from 8PM until Midnight. Refreshments will be served.

Jay Rogers has been a collector and promoter of Underground Comix and art since the early Seventies. He was one of the first people to see the value and potential of Underground Art as a serious medium outside of the comics industry, and was instrumental in placing Robert Crumb's work squarely into the New York Gallery scene. His expansive collection has been used as a reference for numerous art shows and films, he has worked as a consultant for Sotheby's and Christie's Auctions, and has provided art and books to Heritage Auctions.
