"The Estate Sale", a Contemporary Water Color Painting, Alan Sanborn, circa 1990

About the Item

This contemporary vernacular water color of a yard sale in Eureka, California was painted by Alan Sanborn, a celebrated living artist, whose work has been seen in multiple galleries and museums. The painting is on water color paper, and is matted in highest quality rag, and recently framed in a contemporary, oakwood frame. The visible painted image is 23.25 W x 18.25 H. It is in superb condition, with bright, but soft colors and a loose style. It is cheerful, and makes me smile.

    By Blueprint Lighting, Mathieu Matégot, Stilnovo
    Located in New York, NY
    Introducing Jenny, the latest vintage-inspired fixture from Blueprint Lighting. Named for multi-hyphenate Jenny Mollen; NYT best-selling author, actress, design enthusiast, mom of 2 and wife of actor Jason Biggs. From our Chief Luminary, Kelly Aaron: "I have been working closely with Jenny off and on for the past year while she gives her NYC apartment a facelift--it's been so fun! She and I share a love of 1950s French design, which is obviously a hallmark of the Blueprint aesthetic. One day Jenny texted a pic of a single vintage mid-century French wall sconce she loved and asked if Blueprint could make it for her. Funny enough--I, too, had seen that same sconce the day before and already had my Creative Director/Husband figuring out how to fabricate it. How great is that?! It was meant to be!" The Jenny sconce...
