My name is Victor
Spoils, and I am the proud curator and owner of the Gregory
John McIlvaine Museum. |
Interest in McIlvaine's work has been growing steadily
since his return from self-imposed exile to the glittering streets
of Hollywood. Here you can look at scans of artwork spanning McIlvaine's
entire career, read some of his history, and comment yourself on his
unique outlook. I have more plans and hope to keep this page dynamic
and fun. Stay tuned! |

I started the museum as
a way to display and share my collection of McIlvaine's art, music,
and memorabilia, as well as an exercise for myself in museum design
and administration. I have opening receptions from time to time when
McIlvaine sends me a new painting, drawing, or some photographs. I
am assured by Mr. McIlvaine that I have his full support, and he's
promised to do some of what he calls "webocentric work" for this virtual
space. The first examples are some animations which appear on this
page. |

What started for me as a friendship
and a relationship of mutual respect has turned into the Gregory John
McIlvaine Museum. I first met Mr. McIlvaine in the late 80's at the
UC Santa Barbara's College of Creative
Studies, and we have been friends and correspondents (and occasional
collaborators) ever since. The GJMM is a real space, housed in an
old (but sturdy) gardening shack on my property in rural Blissfield,
Michigan, and open to the public by appointment (basically meaning
when I'm home and you come all the way out here.) And of course we're
here on the web, where it's much easier to reach us! |

Please browse around and enjoy. Send
your comments, questions, suggestions, and scans of any of McIlvaine's
works that you may have to Victor (at) mcilvanity.com.
Thanks, Victor Spoils
