The year 2026 was one of the most prolific years of Mr. Gartel’s career. He started out the year with a fashion show with IcMercury with Artworks that are about the surrealism of space. Each model held works of Art while traveling down the runway. Following Gartel’s prolific writings were included into the permanent collection of the Nova Southeastern University (NSU) Alvin Sherman Library where students and faculty could learn about Mr. Gartel’s cutting edge Digital Art for years to come. The recent books: “WARHOL VS GARTEL HYP POP” organized by the Lucca Museum’s director Maurizio Vanni, as well as “Artificial Intelligence and Robotics” written in three languages (English, French and Russian), “Obsession” another book on the transformation of a single being in time and space morphing in time and space to other locations and looks: “Beyond the Lines, A 21st Century Book to Color” allows collectors to interact with the Art from 1975-2026, and the fourth book, “EYE ROBOT” which is a staggering “644” on the assimilation and escalation of robots in society. Now Mr. Gartel has just completed the fifth book in the series: “GARTEL MEDIA BLITZ” which is over 500 pages on the media, press, book covers, magazine stories, exhibition announcements, commissioned project etc from the last 50 years.
