About the Item

A very large and quite magnificent early example of probably one of the finest early genuine original oil / acrylic on canvas conceptual space exploration works painted by Robert McCall in 1973 for NASA. Robert McCall has been recognised many times over for being if not, then certainly one of the most world famous space artists, conceptual artists and science fiction artists ever. This highly detailed large and very heavily bespoke metal framed 100% genuine and one only unique oil / acrylic painting on canvas painted by Robert McCall of this titled " INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION ". The images of this painting have been illustrated in a number of space and conceptual space exploration books. This perfectly preserved early example of Robert T McCall's original oil / acrylic painting on canvas has a most interesting and proven provenance. This particular painting is one of 3 other remaining important early NASA inspired Robert McCall future conceptual space travel and exploration works intended to help forge NASA's future ideas to conquer space. This painting of the perceived conceptual NASA INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION by Robert T McCall in 1973 was originally purchased directly from Robert McCall in the 1970's by a Sheik known to Robert McCall (who later became a good friend apparently), who then arranged for the painting to be displayed in a highly regarded Science Museum within the Sheik's country. The painting then later returned to England London to be held in the Sheik's private collection for many years unseen for decades. However, on the sad passing of this esteemed and important dignitary, this important NASA INSPIRED CONCEPTUAL SPACE PAINTING of what was to possibly be the future blueprint design for a NASA INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION was sold with 3 other Robert McCall space paintings, that have now only just re appeared onto the open market, having spent a further number of years in a specialist climate controlled fine art storage facility. With these paintings also come the provenance photo images of the Sheik with Robert celebrating the sale of the paintings by Robert to the Sheik. These images can only be supplied with the paintings as part of the proven provenance for the painting. It is now almost impossible to find any early or late original Robert T McCall oil / acrylic paintings available for sale on the open market. This is because, on Robert's death in 2010, we understand that all his private remaining collection of paintings and those that remained unfinished in his Artist's Studio were quickly purchased by Museums and film studios due to their historical importance etc. Which is not surprising, as Robert McCall did the original conceptual art work for the film A 2001 SPACE ODYSSEY and the conceptual and production art work for the first STAR TREK MOTION PICTURE and other works for Disney Studios. In addition to this, Science Fiction writers ISAAC ASIMOV and ARTHUR C CLARK also used Robert McCall to do the front cover illustrations for their books, which we understand was because of his exceptional ability to interpret their visions. In addition to helping NASA document to space exploration and future travel in space , Robert McCall designed the patches for the Astronauts and first covers for the postal service USA Stamps celebrating Americas achievements in space. The Robert McCall art collections that are also held in the Museums that include, THE USA NATIONAL AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM, THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART, THE PENTAGON AND THE LYNDON B JOHNSON SPACE CENTRE will never likely ever be sold due to their historical importance. Therefore, we suggest you do not miss this very rare opportunity to purchase this fine original work by Robert T McCall. Even now this particular conceptual oil / acrylic painting on canvas by Robert McCall in 1973 is still decades ahead of mankind's achievements in space exploration, although we are certainly getting a lot closer to Robert McCalls conceptual perception of mankind's conquest of space. Due to the importance of this piece and the rare ability for private collectors to acquire original works by the late Robert McCall you may be interested to know that we are also listing the two other early conceptual original oil / acrylic art works by Robert McCall. We did have a fourth work of a perceived conceptual Mars Base, but that has already been sold to a European Space Museum. So Hurry as this opportunity to own an important original Conceptual Space Painting by Robert T McCall may never come to pass again.

The three dog...

Turkish Medal

By Michael Beam

Located in Buffalo, NY

Beam recognizes that a successful work of art “must develop its own personality…It must empower, engage or provoke the public’s attention.” One exhibition in particular, titled Owavino(1997-1998) [meaning last minute] held in Illinois—perhaps the pinnacle of media mastery—garnered Beam numerous reviews, attacks and responses, even after the exhibiton had closed, for his work Turkish Medal (1996-1997-2013). The painting combines a comparatively altered version of one of Pulitzer-Prize winning illustrator Bill Mauldin...
