World Tattoo Poster

The Fitzpatrick Family is issuing a limited-edition poster of Houdini. The
edition is limited to 500 prints, each accompanied by a certificate of
authenticity. All proceeds will support a number of projects the family is
undertaking dedicated to preserving and protecting the legacy of Tony’s life
and work.
In 1987, Tony left Chicago to pursue a career as an artist in New York.
When he returned to Chicago he was determined to create the same kind
of rebellious and vibrant artistic community he had experienced in New
York. In 1989, with the help of several friends, he opened the World Tattoo
Gallery in the then-crumbling South Loop.
Among the many heroes Tony celebrated in his work, Houdini was the
figure who resonated most deeply with him during this period of his career.
Houdini represented escape—a man capable of accomplishing the
seemingly impossible.
Tony created this poster to commemorate the inaugural exhibition at the
World Tattoo Gallery.
