Growing up in the 60’s and seeing this album cover in my parents record collection and the fact that the original photograph was censored in the US, inspired me to replace the groupie models with dynamic contemporary women of New York whom I scouted and photographed. A group photo shoot was executed by photographer Jason Schmid and I, followed by work in my studio producing a large velvet painting, drawings and studies. Paintings on velvet were popular kitsch style in the 1960’s, but this painting’s large scale of 18’ x 9’ gives it a different context with a royal air. The show took place in 2004 at Deitch Projects in NYC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePia Dehne, \u003c\/b\u003eborn in Düsseldorf, Germany, has been an exhibiting artist for 30 years.
