About the Item
Original early backglass for a vintage pinball machine. These were the art pieces found in the back of the pinball ball machines that would light up. As these machines retired the backglass became highly collectible and framed as found art. This is auto snap and the theme of the game is playing cards - Kings, Queens, Aces, the Joker alongs with clubs and diamonds. These were reverse painted on glass or silkscreened. So true found art!!!
Perfect for children's rooms, bars, game rooms and other areas of the house.
Note some room reflections. Professionally framed in a black matte wood frame.

Fred Otnes Jr Mixed Media Figural Painting on Board
By Fred Otnes
Located in New York, NY
Exquisite painting by prominent artist Fred Otnes, Jr of a figural woman in gold, orange and warm earth colors. This unique mixed media of oil and collage has diverse layers in the painting although to the touch the painting is smooth. This piece is painted on board and is found in a gilt leaf frame with a linen liner. Signed on the lower right corner as well as what appears to be on verso on the craft backing paper.
