TRANSCRIPT
PRESS KIT 2019
Longshore was recently celebrated by Bergdorf Goodman as its first female artist solo exhibit in its 100-plus-year history and designed the newly opened Palette at BG. Curated by Diane von Furstenberg for an exclusive art experience at her flagship location, Ashley painted a collection of forty iconic women who changed the course of history. Ashley professes on the regular: “I’m brave enough to be who I am in a society where there’s a lot of pressure to be perfect. I can only be me and I encourage YOU to be YOU.”
ABOUT THE POP-ARTIST
New Orleans-based mixed-media artist, Ashley Longshore, has been compared to a young, feminist Andy Warhol for her obsession with pop culture figures and brands as well as her relationships with celebrities and billionaire entrepreneurs. From George Washington in a Supreme hoodie to Jesus surrounded in Louis Vuitton to Kate Moss as a nun, Longshore’s paintings, focusing on pop culture, Hollywood glamour, and American consumerism, are never shy of daring – her art makes noise. Dubbed by The New York Times as “Fashion’s Latest Art Darling,” she has emblazoned the path for pop art and fashion to coexist.
I want to live in a world of laughter, color, sparkle, and shine. Life is too short to not spend most of the day with a smile.

Ashley Longshore makes history as she becomes the first solo female artist to exhibit at Bergdorf Goodman along with 6 windows on 5th Avenue.
JANUARY 2018
New York fashion landmark Bergdorf Goodman was abuzz Thursday in celebration of the first female artist solo exhibit in its 100-plus-year history.
Pop artist Ashley Longshore — known for her playful portrayals of pop culture icons such as Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Lil Wayne, Frida Kahlo and more — took over the store’s windows and seventh floor gallery to kick off a monthlong showcase of glittery goodness.
JANUARY 2018
“It means that if a self-taught artist from Montgomery, Alabama, can have five massive windows on Fifth Avenue and takeover the seventh floor of Bergdorf Goodman, anything can happen. It is an honor and unbelievably exciting. This also validates every collector who spent a dime on me over the last 24 years.”“
PA L ET T E R ESTAUR A N T JUNE 2018
“We invited Ashley to be our ‘artist in residence’ after the overwhelming response we felt from our installation on the 7th
Floor and in the Fifth Avenue windows,” says Linda Fargo, Bergdorf Goodman’s Fashion Director.“
Ashley Longshore Says “There Is No Crying At Bergdorf Goodman.”
“The artist Ashley Longshore is on quite a roll lately. The New York Times dubbed her “fashion’s latest art darling.” A fashion editor called
Longshore the “pied piper of hope and fun.” Jamie Wax has been spending time with Longshore and has more.”

It’s hard to believe it took this long for pop artist Ashley Longshore to have an exhibition in Los Angeles.
But to hear her tell it like only she can, it took her this long to find the right partner in perfumer and florist-to-the-stars Eric Buterbaugh, who has a love of bon mots himself that made them fast friends, and is opening his Beverly Boulevard gallery for Longshore’s first L.A. exhibition, which runs from today to May 24. -WWD

OCTOBER 2018
Ashley Longshore took Atlanta by storm with her bigger than life personality and art with a showing of her mind blowing art at Jeffrey Atlanta, Phipps Plaza.
A darling of the fashion world, her renderings of Birkins and bottles of Veuve Cliquot mixed amicably among the shop’s glossy white displays of Gucci, YSL and Balenciaga. In tow was 50 pieces of new work from the artist, as well as glittering pieces from her Liberace-worthy limited-edition Judith Lieber collaboration.
NOVEMBER 2018
The collaboration between myself and Lingua Franca makes perfect sense because we both believe in strong messaging. RBG, Michelle Obama, Dr. Ford, and Maya Angelou, are all women who represent fearlessness, beauty, honesty, and standing up for what you believe in. Living with the images of these four women makes me feel brave and painting them for Bleecker St. has been such an honor!”

Veuve Clicquot flew in female Wine-maker Delphine Labord from France specifically for this special event. Veuve Clicquot chose to collaborate with the artist because she captures the spirit of Veuve Clicquot so beautifully in her paintings.
Named one of the leading female entrepreneurs of the south by Forbes, Longshore is very much inspired by Madame Clicquot and the brand that she built. The event was a huge success celebrating the exquisite brand, the bombastic artist and was an elegant scene with New Orleans’ elite society.
JUNE 2016

Since 2013, in order to meet and serve new customers, CPB has presented Holiday Collections in collaboration with young designers who embody the worldview of CPB and are highly in tune with the values of the new era. For 2016, CPB worked with Ashley Longshore, a modern artist known for her elegant yet edgy style featuring vivid colors and bold compositions, and has produced modern, elegant expressions of the beauty of “women willing to create the new era” from “les Années Folles” (the Roaring 20s) which is the season’s theme. Ashley Longshore was present at the press event as a special guest. Together with brand muse Amanda Seyfried and Chinese artist Yi Zhou who appeared as the MC of the gala dinner, Ashley spoke of her unique outlook on art under the theme of “Fearless Beauty” and was enthusiastically applauded by the guests.
THE AUDREY’SPORTRAIT SERIES
The Audrey’s are a series of portraits of the iconic Audrey Hepburn, who has become a signature Longshore muse earning her worldwide acclaim. These paintings have become the cornerstone of her vast body of her and are collected around the world by a variety of women who can all relate to Audrey in one of her many forms. Blake Lively, Salma Hayek, Penelope Cruz and Katherine Heigl are all notable Audrey collectors.
TROPHY SERIESTROPHY COLLECTION
Fascinated by our culture’s obsession with money and material objects these paintings focus on a particular subculture of men and women, who relate accumulation of wealth to happiness and power. From Veuve Clicquot bottles, to Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Diamonds, Drugs and more; name brands and conspicuous consumption will always be a consistent theme in Longshore’s work. What began as a series of paintings about Trophy wives, has evolved to include men, as well. Ashley’s most recent Gordon Gekko collection explores the theme of money and power from a man’s perspective.

Immediately!”
FEBRUARY 2017
