GayVM.com Offers Limited Edition Prints From Legendary Artist Rex

LAS VEGAS, Nev.—CWC Corporation, the parent company of GayVM.com, has announced the release today of six Limited Edition prints, which will only be available for purchase through the company's recently created website and business venture, GayVM.com, which also offers rare vintage gay magazines, paperbacks and prints for purchase. The unique prints were created by gay community icon Rex, a gay artist who has been on the leading edge of the homosexual art "wagon" since the 1960s. The artist, now in his late 70s, continues to focus on his art, including both new pieces and the remastering of his prior works. Now Rex has released six remastered favorite pieces from his collection, which spans more than 40 years of art. Finding any Rex original or even a print is nearly impossible today. Hoarded and kept in private collections from the 1960s-2000, they seldom come on the market—and when they reach the auction block, buyers find that the art pieces sell quickly, many times exceeding the original estimate. "All of us at CWC Corporation and GayVM are excited to be working with infamous world-reknown artist and icon Rex. We feel it is a great honor and privilege to be helping to bring his amazing art into focus for the benefit of today's generation to enjoy," said Lee Watson, President of CWC. “ We could not be happier or more pleased to be providing some of the very best gay art prints for our customers to experience and collect. We are always working tirelessly to enhance our catalog of art and prints we offer our valued customers. Rex's iconic limited edition prints and detailed imagery is any gay art collector's dream come true!" Rex's drawings have had a huge influence on gay culture over the generations, through graphics made for famous nightclubs including the Mineshaft and his influence on artists such as Robert Mapplethorpe. Much censored, he has remained an elusive figure, saying that his drawings “defined who I became” and that there are “no other ‘truths’ out there”. His distinctive artistic black-and-white pen-and-ink drawings quickly became synonymous with the emerging gay and leather scene throughout the '60s, '70s, '80s and beyond, and hold an almost "god-like" status in the gay art world today. GayVM prides itself on making historical publications available and accessible for everyone to enjoy, and is proud to now have Rex limited edition prints among the catalog of items and publications it has on offer for the gay collector. These six limited edition Rex prints, limited to 100 numbered prints of each image, will be available on GayVM.com beginning today, June 1, for purchase on a first-come basis.For more information on GayVM, visit GayVM.com, or contact Lee by emailing [email protected], or calling (800) 300-2002.
