In remembrance of legendary artist Peter Max, who has passed away at age 88, Music Planet Radio opens Cerphe’s Audio Vault to share this special conversation from 2012.

Cerphe spoke with Peter as he prepared to visit the Washington, D.C. area for appearances at Wentworth Gallery. In this lively and warmly personal interview, Peter shares stories behind some of his extraordinary creations—from painting a Continental Airlines jet and the hull of Norwegian Breakaway to designing a piano for Ringo Starr that Paul McCartney later signed.

Peter also reflects on painting presidents and cultural icons, his friendship with remarkable figures from music, art and world history, and the international childhood that helped shape his boundless imagination.

We remember Peter Max for the brilliant color, optimism and unmistakable creative spirit he brought to the world.
