CLAW MONEY WORLD takes you to the heart of New York’s graffiti scene through the eyes of pioneering and ground-breaking artist Claudia Gold (aka Claw Money). This world-first, Australian exclusive exhibition presents an intimate look into Gold’s global impact upon graffiti, fashion and design spanning 1990s to present day.
Rising to prominence in the male-dominated New York graffiti scene of the 1990s with her distinctive claw paw moniker, Gold gained international notoriety through her iconic collaborations with major brands including Nike, Vans, UGG Australia, My Little Pony and Mountain Dew. Her eponymous fashion label also attracted high-profile celebrity followers including Kanye West, M.I.A, Amy Winehouse, Rhianna and Kendrick Lamar, for its contemporary blend of streetwear and couture.
In this world-premiere, and on show for the first time at the Warrnambool Art Gallery this exhibition presents a suite of Gold’s key collaborations from Nike to NASCAR, alongside signature garments and accessories from her label, set amongst a vibrant installation of murals painted by the artist in-situ.
CLAW MONEY WORLD is proudly supported by the Victorian State Government through Visit Victoria and the Regional Events Fund, Creative Victoria, Warrnambool City Council, and Montana Paints. The Gallery is grateful for the contributions of the Gwen and Edna Jones Foundation, The Ray and Joyce Uebergang Foundation, The A L Lane Foundation, and The William and Lindsay Brodie Foundation.
