Love Is The Answer by Robert Goetzl at Arete Gallery in September 2024

Exclusive Artwork Sale: “Love Is The Answer” by Robert Goetzl at Arete Gallery, Benefitting Julian Lennon's White Feather Foundation

Arete Gallery is thrilled to announce the sale of a unique piece of artwork in partnership with renowned artist Robert Goetzl. Titled “Love Is The Answer,” this extraordinary piece is a guitar hand-painted by Robert Goetzl with a portrait of John Lennon, signed by May Pang, who famously worked with Lennon during his “Lost Weekend” era. The artwork is a watercolor/mixed media creation on spruce, with a John Lennon portrait interpretation inspired by the film photography of Lennon in NYC in 1974 by a BBC film crew and the photograph of Lennon and May Pang by Peter Simins. The guitar bears May Pang’s autograph, dated 5/18/24, in silver marker. It is beautifully presented in a black shadow box frame with floating guitar art, protected by museum-quality non-glare glass. The piece is available for viewing at Arete Gallery in New Hope, PA.

This guitar is not just a piece of art but a symbol of cultural history. Proceeds from the sale will directly benefit The White Feather Foundation, supporting their vital initiatives for Indigenous communities, clean water projects, and conservation efforts worldwide.

Join us on September 7th from 2-4 PM for an Exclusive Artwork Sale. The artist, Robert Goetzl, along with other special guests, will be in attendance as we celebrate this symbol of cultural history.

Founded by Julian Lennon in 2007, The White Feather Foundation focuses on raising funds for environmental and humanitarian efforts across the globe. The Foundation has garnered prestigious recognition, including the ‘Better World Environmental Award’ from Prince Albert II of Monaco, the UNESCO Peace Award, and the World Literacy Award. By purchasing this artwork, you will be contributing to meaningful global causes.
