POSTER PEEPSHOW: THE ART OF THE PIN UP
February 5 , 2011 – February 28, 2011
Opening Reception: February 5, 2011 (7 pm - 11 pm)
No Admission, Complimentary Refreshments and Food Served
Alhambra, CA – The pin up girl is sweet, yet equally a seductress, flirty as well as sexy, naïve but secretly naughty.
She embodies sensuality, youth, fun, and pleasure. Men and women alike have admired her for nearly 100 years. The
pin up girl could be found on the covers and centerfolds of thousands of magazines, calendars, ad campaigns,
and even decorated WWII war crafts; thereby, pin up art has become an integral part of Americana.
“Poster Peepshow” celebrates the pin up girl by featuring original artwork by contemporary artists and
pays homage to pin up masters such as George Petty, Gil Elvgren, and Alberto Vargas. Over the past decade it has
become impossible to ignore the growing popularity to recapture the nostalgia of pin up glamour. We are pleased to
contribute to the culture’s growing appreciation with this exhibition.

Since October of 2004, Nucleus has strived to

be a welcoming gathering place for the art-loving
community by offering quality art, art-related goods,
and rarities. Focusing primarily on gallery exhibits, we
have also held benefit auctions, product signings, music events, and artist lectures.
After three and a half years, we moved one block
east to a much larger and more dynamic space. Still
in the heart of quaint downtown Alhambra, we
re-opened in March of 2008 with over 2,000 square
feet of open gallery space, 1,000 square feet of shop/
boutique, and over 3,000 square feet of studio/production space.
Having exhibited both local artists and artists from
abroad, and catering to an international customer base,
we offer an extensive collection of original contemporary, illustrated, graphic, commercial, and narrative
art. (All of which are carefully cataloged online on our
website.)
Always open to the public, we welcome art collectors
and the general public alike to visit us seven days a week.
