Gold, a friend of the late Harry Nilsson and Jim Morrison, is also an accomplished rock musician, and has had dozens of #1 hits on MP3 and has been in the Top 40 dozens of times, including "Kahuna & the Brain" which was seen on CNBC by 150 million viewers.

Gold is a well-listed and highly recognized member of the Woodstock Impressionists, New York School, California Nine and Post-Pop Schools. He studied privately, painted daily, and attended classes at the Woodstock ASL during the 1950's -- Gold's students include the formidable Zoe Alowan, Tommy X, Della Heywood, Douglass Truth, Claude Needham, Native-American painters Denise Wey and Yaqui Dreaming Woman Heather Valencia, along with many other great artists of our day. Gold's art listings include Who's Who in American Art, Art in America, Art Now, AAM, AIA, Annual Guide to Museums & Artists, Art Expo, Art & Antiques, Art & Auction, Art News, Art Scene, ArtWeek, Berliner Kunstblatt, California Art Review, ICOM, International Directory for Collectors, Print Directory, Library of Objective Art, National Gallery Guide and more.

E.J. Gold's larger, more important paintings are museum-collected, White House, in the Camp David and Clinton collections, the collection of the Late King Hussein of Jordan, and hundreds of top Hollywood and Washington Celebrities.

Primary Market Recorded Sales of Gold's paintings have ranged between $15,000 for smaller canvases to about $85,000 for larger works up to mural size of about 15 feet, and at least one sale in six figures has been recorded. Independent appraisals are available.

Known also for his patriotic songs and paintings, Gold's family has been in and around the White House through seven administrations, and Chelsea Clinton's specially handpainted copy of "Goodnight Moon" referred to in her graduation ceremony, was a gift from Mr. Gold.

Gold's secondary market is excellent; online auctions of his works have recently brought recorded prices in the thousands, and on certain auction sites his prices have doubled several times over the past year, especially his Manhattan Skylines, which he began showing and selling in late summer 1949, leaning the larger canvases on the concrete aginst the fence around Tompkins' Square Park on 10th St. in New York's East Village. Smaller paintings were wired to the top of the fence. Gold's paintings sold then for $2, $5 and $25! Paintings from that period would now bring thousands or tens of thousands.

Gold attended Otis Art Institute and Elon College and is a recognized published author in the field of quantum mechanics, special field theory and ambient-temperature plasma related to fluid dynamics of colloid suspensions. His interests in sports range from fencing -- he was in the Northeast Conference -- to chess, at which he is said to be almost unbeatable. Gold's background includes the Army Security Agency during the 'Nam Era, and civilian contributions to the Remote Reading activities conducted by the Department of Defense during the mid to late 1960's. He is also a published author in the field of transformational psychology. His friends and colleagues in this area are and were: Timothy Leary, M.D., John Lilly, M.D., Claudio Naranjo, Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, Robert Anton Wilson, Robert deRopp and many others. Gold is also a game developer and has dozens of blockbuster videogames to his credit, including "Paparazi" which received over 1 Million downloads in its first year, currently still downloading at a fantastic rate -- the average number of downloads of a new game is generally in the thousands or tens of thousands! Recent paintings by E.J. Gold have reached astronomical figures, even his rare museum miniatures in various venues including online auctions. Older paintings are largely unavailable, but occasionally one or two will turn up on the secondary market. They typically bring two to three times the price of later works, due to scarcity, not quality. Many of Gold's 180,000 paintings, pastels, drawings and sculptures are published and have been used as album or magazine covers, including Harry Nilsson, Monkees (Gold was an official Monkee Spec/Tiger Beat Reporter in the 60's) and others, and several books featuring his gesture and action art have sold out; the Second Volume of the Catalogue Raisonne of his work is already published, with a third volume due very soon. E.J. Gold is also a recognized science fiction author and editor, with over 5,000,000 words in print, several blockbuster films, many tv productions and radio plays, and is the former editor of Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine, founded by his father Horace L. Gold in 1950. Gold's Complete Guide to Painting Techniques are available on 12 one-hour lesson VHS videotapes from Gateways Books & Tapes.
