Eric Doeringer creates “bootlegs” which are appropriations of iconic artworks by well known and established artists. Before receiving International fame and numerous gallery exhibitions, Eric Doeringer who has an M.F.A. from Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, has been creating Bootlegs since 2001 when he began selling this innovative series of recreations by Artists like Elizabeth Peyton, John Currin, Damien Hirst, Keith Haring from a sidewalk stand he set up on West 24th street in Chelsea, adjacent to the galleries that showed similar artwork he was then appropriating. 

This Christopher Wool Bootleg painting on canvas is particularly innovative and desirable; first it is unique as it hand-painted, remarkably using the identical continuous painting method used by Christopher Wool. Also, this unique Eric Doeringer Appropriation is hand signed and dated in pen on the verso by Eric Doeringer; most Doeringer Bootlegs are ONLY stamped on the verso, and not signed.  

Eric Doeringer is a recognized as an acclaimed International Appropriation Artist who joins the ranks of esteemed Appropriation Artists such as Richard Pettibone, Richard Prince, Sturtevant and Mike Bidlo.
