Art Clokey, Joe Clokey, and Gumby

I hosted Art Clokey, creator of Gumby, and his family at my gallery to celebrate Gumby's 50th birthday. His son, Joe Clokey, now runs the dynasty and has just signed a motion picture deal in order to bring Gumby to the next generation of kids. The exhibition features original clay puppets, sets, props, and archival footage. It's the west coast exhibition that coincides with New York's Museum of the Moving Image (our show is 3 times the size though :))
