Renowned artist Peter Max will unveil a special commemorative painting, “State Fair Meadowlands,” on July 2 at 7 p.m. on the main stage at the fair. State Fair Meadowlands is an annual event that takes place for about two weeks alongside MetLife Stadium.
“Only Peter Max, with his fluid brushwork and big bang of cosmic color, could capture the fair’s magic on a canvas and radiate the wonderment and excitement we all feel when entering the fairgrounds,” said Al Dorso, president of State Fair Meadowlands. “We are deeply honored to have this spectacular work of art to cherish for years to come.”
Peter Max emerged as a powerful force in the Art World from the prestigious Art Students League, alongside such artists as Robert Rauschenberg, Jackson Pollack, and Cy Twombly. The League was a formative influence on these artists’ innovative artwork, and has led each and every one to greatness and an important legacy in history.
