Victor Ash
(Danish/French, b. 1968)
Say Hello to the Astronaut, 2017
Acrylic and airbrush on canvas
29 1/4" x 42 1/2"
Signed, titled, and dated to the reverse. Presented in a black float frame that measures 31" x 44 1/2".
Victor Ash came to prominence as a graffiti writer in the 1980s, as a member of influential French crew BBC, along with Jayone and Skki. His best known work is "Astronaut/Cosmonaut" (2007), a seven-story mural in Berlin so popular that it has been deemed a tourist attraction. His studio work has earned him solo exhibitions from New York to Tokyo.
Provenance: A private collection; previously, urban art gallery Art in the Game (London gallery representative for the artist) shipped the work to the United States for CONTEXT Art Miami, 2017.
Very good condition, noting that the black fabric tape that wraps the edges of the canvas for a crisp mounted appearance is presently loose.
