Makes a terrific gift! Stunningly large -- 54 Square Inches. This work looks dazzling framed and hung on the wall (see photo) -- but as it is a signed silkscreen on silk, but it can also be worn. Collector will be delighted! Makes a memorable gift. This impressive, large hand signed, silkscreen on 100% Italian silk shawl was created by Frank Stella in collaboration with his longtime publisher Kenneth Tyler of the famed Tyler Graphics Studio. In red silk Italian made presentation box with an accompanying COA - hand signed by both Stella and Tyler. "The Whale Watch" is also signed and dated on the front of the art work by Frank Stella in indelible black marker. It was acquired directly from the publisher before Kenneth Tyler retired, and is brand new in the publishers' original red silk box and wrapping. While The Whale Watch is indeed wearable art, it is also a silkscreen, and many collectors choose to frame this hand signed 54 square inch print to display as a stunning and easily recognizable work of art by Frank Stella. The image is based on an iconic silkscreen Stella created for the Moby Dick Deckle Edges series of prints in the 1990s (also published by Tyler Graphics) based on Herman Melvilles epic novel "Moby Dick". There is been a tremendous amount of literature celebrating this body of work.
