John Rummelhoff
(Startribune.com) By his early 20s, Rummelhoff had made a name for himself on the New York art scene, where his work attracted the attention of art dealer Louis K. Meisel, who signed him to his stable of paid artists.

Meisel was a leading figure in the photorealist movement, and Rummelhoff was part of its vanguard. His work was featured in Meisels first Photorealism book and was displayed in museums, including the Smithsonian Aerospace Museum, and purchased by collectors such as Marlon Brando and Lauren Bacall.

Rummelhoff lived in Greenwich Village, mingling with high-profile artists including Andy Warhol, who autographed a photo of himself superimposed on his iconic Campbells Soup can at Rummelhoffs 1968 birthday party.

By 1979, Rummelhoff had returned to Minneapolis where he opened a studio. He made his living selling his paintings and drawings, building picture frames and working with real estate agents to stage high-end homes with his work.
