Embedded Files
Michael Celbar, a gifted Binghamton NY artist of strong vision and originality, worked in a wide variety of mediums. At his death, he left an inspired legacy of hundreds of art works that often express his deep vision of a dark, strikingly beautiful world.
THE COLLECTION
Knowing his artwork would not be discarded and lost forever, Michael left the entirety of his work to his long time friend, Gabriel Bobek. The Collection contains over 1,000 pieces created by this extremely prolific artist across a wide range of mediums — photography, ink, acrylic, oil pastel, monoprint, computer art, silkscreen, photo collage, cardboard collage, and large scale cardboard cut-outs.
2023 RETROSPECTIVE
In association with Broome County Arts Council a highly anticipated retrospective of Michael’s work launched in June 2023 at Artisan Gallery, Binghamton, New York. This Retrospective, the first of its kind honoring Michael Celbar, included 180 vibrant pieces from the Collection.
PRESENTING THE COLLECTION
Galleries and museums, as well as local business with potential exhibition space, are invited to present the Collection. Sponsorships and promotional opportunities are also available. Contact Gabriel Bobek: gabrielbobek520@gmail.com
