Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett has put together one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of horror and sci-fi art. It’s Alive! features more than 100 pieces including posters, toys, guitars, masks, and sculptures, many hailing back to the days of Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. Not only do these objects explore the power of graphic art in its own right, they have inspired Hammett’s work throughout his own artistic career.
“I have a real passion for the horror genre. These stories, they're like our modern fairy tales,” said Hammett in a video promoting the upcoming exhibition, which can be seen below.
Presently, Hammett has not announced a personal appearance at The Columbia Museum of Art to coincide with his exhibit.
It’s Alive! Classic Horror and Sci-Fi Art from the Kirk Hammett Collection is currently showing at The Royal Ontario Museum. in Toronto, Ontario. The exhibit runs through January 5th, 2020.
