Tullman and his wife Judith began collecting as a young couple and have since amassed an impressive collection of mainly figurative works, many of which are by artists featured in Juxtapoz in the past, and were discovered by the Tullmans there. The couple is committed to supporting emerging, boundary-pushing, visionary artists and have developed personal connections with many of the artists featured in their collection.

One such artist is Joe Coleman, whose work City Medical Patrol, is the top lot in the upcoming auction. Coleman is renowned for his painstakingly detailed surreal narrative paintings and fantastical portraiture of the famous and infamous. Deftly executed with a single haired paintbrush, under the magnification of jeweler’s loupe, the result is reminiscent of a Flemish Master illustrating a Mad Magazine Fold-In. City Medical Patrol, 1988 is an earlier career example by the artist, depicting in his typical intricately grotesque fashion a zombie disease outbreak ravishing a gritty urban street, perhaps self referentially eluding to the scourge of heroin addiction that Coleman battled in the 80s with fantastical virtuosity. Coleman, an artist in the Outsider tradition, has been widely embraced by the mainstream, as his work is highly sought after and he boasts an A-List clientele of rock, movie and art star collectors.
