The Sausalito Library invites you to a presentation on the first museum retrospective of renowned tattoo artist and California native Ed Hardy. This special program presented by museum docent Gretchen Turner will take place on Thursday, July 18 at 2:00 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers. Deeper than Skin tracks Hardy's goal of elevating the tattoo from its subculture status to an important visual art form. The exhibition surveys Hardy's life in art that has as its inspiration both traditional American tattooing and Japan's ukiyo-e era culture. The corresponding exhibit at the de Young runs from July 13 to October 6.
