SoHo's Louis K. Meisel Gallery spotlights a lost art form.

Beginning last night, April 2, SoHo’s Louis K. Meisel Gallery on Prince Street is showcasing The Great American Pinup Returns. And it is one telling detail, relayed by Justin Rocket Silverman in the Daily News, that bears repeating:

The collection belongs to an anonymous Monaco playboy who decided to sell off some of his art after a race car crash, Meisel says. The paintings range in price from $10,000 to $400,000 – mostly because so few originals survive from the golden age.
