Gretzky Is Everywhere

I just saw this at The Rooms, a fabulous cultural facility in St. John's, Newfoundland.



In 1983, hockey player Wayne Gretzky sat for a portrait at Andy Warhol’s New York studio. “He’s more than a hockey player, he’s an entertainer. An entertaining hockey player,” Warhol famously remarked. Here's a letter Gretzky wrote to Warhol:


The artist created screen prints based on Polaroids taken at the sitting.  “Gretzky is Everywhere” presents Warhol’s famous print at multiple sites simultaneously via live stream: in Charlottetown, at the Art Gallery of Alberta in Edmonton and at The Rooms in St. John’s, N.L.
