You are bidding on a one-of-a-kind portrait of Todd Haynes, Oscar-nominated writer/director of feature films Far From Heaven and I'm Not There. This 15.25 x 24" stretched giclee print on canvas has been signed by both Todd Haynes and Steve Cohn, the artist and Haynes' brother-in-law (who works under the pseudonym Jasper Marks). The print is capped with a small matte black frame, ready to hang as is, or to add a more elaborate frame of your choice.

Please watch the signing and dedication of the portrait to The Right Brain Initiative, and read Todd Haynes' written statement about the value of arts education on the Right Brain blog.

The portrait is currently in Portland, OR and on view at the Lara Sydney Framing Gallery, 1230 NW Hoyt Street through the end of the auction.  For those local to Portland, please take a look during the First Thursday art walk on the evening of August 2. The auction’s winner can choose to work with the Lara Sydney Framing Gallery to meet their framing needs at an additional cost. Handling time and shipping costs may vary if choosing to frame the item.
