His numerous exhibitions, outspoken artistic and business philosophy, along with his arresting painting style, have led to wide - spread critical attention and placed him in the limelight of public interest. His works now hang in major private and public collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim and the Museum of Modern Art.

"Within a very short time, through his work and actions, Mark Kostabi has made the art world take notice. Clever, streetwise, armchair philosopher, he has received a good deal of attention from dealers, the press, collectors and his contemporaries, not to mention the over 90 exhibitions held in his young, ambitious career." Provenance: Louis Michael Schultz – An Advertising Man’s Ad Man. An ad man of exceptional vision and depth. To say that Lou Schultz had advertising in his blood- would be like saying that Babe Ruth could hit a little. An understatement of a great man, a great ad man who prided himself as a being a great listener who know how to take care of his clients. A dreamer and doer – he rose to the highest echelon of Campbell Ewald in his home town of Detroit – tackling the competitive automotive ad business with the vigor of one those big block V-Eights the town was renowned for back in the day. The following job titles tip the iceberg of this behemoth of ad man- but only tell part of his great story. Staff Campbell-Ewald, Warren, Michigan, 1967-1974, vice president group director, 1975-1977, senior vice president, associate director, 1977-1982, group senior vice president, 1982-1983, executive vice president, 1984-1987, Lintas: United States of America, 1987-1994. Chairman Lintas: World War Media Council, 1991. Member development council IPG, New York City, since 1984. President, Chief Executive Officer Civil Engineering Communications, since 1994. Vice chairman Campbell-Ewald, 1998-1999. Chairman, Chief Executive Officer Initiative Media North America, Los Angeles, since 2000. Chairman Initiative Media World War, 2000. Those are the bullet points. The highlights of a successful life lived at the heights of a life in the competitive world of advertising. They look great on paper. But they merely scratch the surface of this great ad man who took on every challenge as he took on his many clients who trusted him with their good names and products over the years. Bold. Bright. Competitive. A winner. Lou Schultz was the guy you wanted in charge of your ad campaign. And when it came to the media buy – well there was no one finer to ensure that your product would be seen in the brightest and best light. A renegade and a rebel - with a hint of Don Draper and the guts of a riverboat gambler. A straight shooting ad man who always made his client’s money and their products look good. Location BB
