| Description |
For the last 25 years, Scott Covert's life has been a never-ending, headlong pursuit of the beautiful and damned, beauties and the beasts, the good, the bad and the ugly, the powerful and glorious, the naked and the dead. Edelman Arts is delighted to present the first comprehensive exhibit of the work Scott Covert has created—one grave at a time—since 1996. Covert has spent a good part of the last 20 years collecting and curating rubbings from gravestones all over the world. Some headstones work on their own like Jackie Curtis, John Coltrane, Russ Meyer, Houdini and Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe; others are themed groups like the Wizard of Oz (Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Bent Lahr) It’s a Wonderful Life (James Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore, Henry Travers) or the Rat Pack (Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., Dean Martin, Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford).
