A new virtual art exhibition celebrates theater, movies and television with original sketches by Broadway set and costume designers, and paintings and drawings of shows and theaters.
Helicline Fine Art's exhibition You'll Be Swell! You'll Be Great! — after the famous lyrics from the musical Gypsy — is the brainchild of theater publicist Keith Sherman, who collects art with his husband Roy Goldberg. Most of the works come from what's considered Broadway's Golden Age, from the 1930s to the 1960s.
"Because I'd been working in the arts and entertainment for so long, I'm attracted to images of the theater and film and television and music and dance," Sherman said. "And I only buy things that I love."

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
..."We looked at a painting of a movie set from the 1940s; a New York scene on a street with brownstones, it was owned by Frank Sinatra. "This is the film set of a movie called Till the Clouds Roll By," which was a biography of composer Jerome Kern, Sherman said. "The movie was directed by a guy named Richard Whorf who painted this painting and we think gifted it to the Sinatras. Frank Sinatra and June Allyson are depicted in the painting... It is a beautiful slice of Hollywood in an old-fashioned movie set with the klieg lights shining on the actors."
Keith Sherman said this online exhibition gives him an opportunity "to let others share in the love that we've been feeling for a long time. And I'm just having a great time with it."...
