Apples
Paul has forever been known for his realistic-looking ceramic apples. He started creating in the late 1970s and continued until he died in 2017. Since New York City is known as The Big Apple, it was fitting that Paul offered these apples to customers in his New York City gallery. And sell apples, he did… Since that time, Paul has created his apples in every imaginable color. Some well-known people have apples by Bellardo, such as Doris Day, Sandy Duncan, Ann Miller, and New York City Mayor David Dinkins. President Ronald Reagan was presented with an apple that ended up having a prominent place in the White House. Paul’s apples were even featured in the 1988 film, Torch Song Trilogy. Paul presents Elizabeth Taylor with violet apples to match her eyes.
