The North End is the name of an iconic gay sports bar in Boystown Chicago. Perhaps the phallic design of this image plus the name is not coincidental.
NICHOLAS KRUSHENICK (1929-1999) One of America’s premier Pop artists, Nicholas Krushenick’s work consists of geometric abstract motifs whose shapes were outlined in heavy black lines. In this regard his original prints were often compared to those of Pop Art co-horts Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, but unlike these masters Krushenick avoided any imagery from commercial art. More than one critic termed the art of Krushenick as "Abstract Pop." Today his prints and paintings are included in such major collections as the Stedelijk, Amsterdam, the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
