In 2012, noted scholar and art collector, Gordon W. Bailey, a champion of du Plenty’s artistry, gifted a number of his superb portraits depicting boxers and musical figures in honor of the founding members of R.E.M., Michael Stipe, Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Bill Berry to the Georgia Museum of Art in Athens, GA. Bailey encouraged the museum to pay tribute to du Plenty and following his lead the museum organized the exhibition Boxers and Backbeats: Tomata du Plenty and the West Coast Punk Scene which ran from Oct. 2014 until Jan. 2015. Inspired by the museum’s pre-exhibition promotional efforts, Helen Clarke and Carlos Iglesias, a founder of The Remainder Is Productions, in association with a number of du Plenty’s friends and collaborators, staged the multi-media event Big Hair: The Life and Times of Tomata du Plenty at Art Share Los Angeles in the spring of 2014.

The Remainder Is Productions currently has a documentary in pre-production on the life and art of Tomata du Plenty.
