Item Description
Gregory Perillo (1927–2021) remains one of today’s most respected and renowned American Western artists. His powerfully dramatic, emotional depictions of Native Americans and early settlers, as well as Western landscapes and wildlife, have made him one of America’s leading painters and sculptors. Born in Greenwich Village, Perillo moved to Staten Island, New York, at age two and lived there almost his entire life. Today, Gregory Perillo’s artwork hangs in hundreds of private and corporate collections, galleries, and museums throughout the United States as well as Germany and Russia.
Starting in the 1980s, his paintings have been reproduced in many different mediums, from giclee canvas art, lithographs, and limited editions collectibles.
In 1990, American Express commissioned Perillo to paint over fifty oil paintings and sculpt two huge bronzes for its world headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. His work also adorned the corporate headquarters of AT&T and the New York State Governor’s mansion in Albany. In the 1990s, Mr. Perillo was commissioned to paint Brooks Robinson and Roberto Clemente for two consecutive Rawlings Gold Glove Award Dinners held in NYC.
One of the proudest moments in his career was when he presented his painting, The Cowboy and His Lady, of President Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy, to them in October 1981. This painting is now in the permanent collection of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Simi Valley, California.
The 1978 issue of The Buffalo Hunt bronze plate of Gregory Perillo was a limited edition of 2,500. The plate is numbered 137/2,500 and bears the original signature of Gregory Perillo.
