“Social Club” original painting crafted on authentic vintage newspapers from the 1980s, collaged ont

Social Club - “Social Club” by Chad Fandel is a bold and gritty pop art mixed media piece crafted with acrylic and layered with authentic vintage newspapers from the 1980s, 90s, and early 2000s, meticulously collaged onto canvas. This work immortalizes the iconic signage that once hung outside the Bergin Hunt and Fish Club—infamously known as the headquarters of John Gotti, the so-called “Dapper Don.” The layering of historic headlines beneath the painted surface evokes a powerful contrast between American media sensationalism and underworld legend. A collision of pop culture, crime history, and artistic rebellion, this piece captures the tension of an era when newspapers told half the story, and the rest was whispered. Hand signed by the artist and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
