Both Alec Monopoly and David Yarrow presented some of their latest art pieces – Alec Monopoly used pop culture icons, such as David Bowie, as his latest subjects, while Yarrow introduced a series of prints with wolves, in his signature black-and-white coloring – as well as some of their more popular works, including Monopoly’s famed, fictional subjects Richie Rich and Mr. Monopoly, and Yarrow’s lions. Monopoly also showcased colorful, metallic sculptures, one of which he debuted earlier in the day in conjunction with his partnership with Tag Heuer.
