Clayton Pond. "Dune Buggy". Clayton Pond (b. 1941) was among the first artists to employ silkscreen printing in a fresh, distinctly personal way. His limited edition silkscreen prints are immediately recognizable for their bright, cheerful colors with a shine as if the inks were still wet. But what is truly impressive is the high number of colored inks used some having up to twenty separate layers.
From the artist about this print: This iconic image, "Dune Buggy", portrays a lifestyle the artist witnessed while in New Mexico. Dune buggies were stripped down Volkswagens created for driving around the dunes in the desert or on a beach. In this image the artist has created a composition within a composition. The main compositional structure is formed by the rear view of the dune buggy’s broad, squatting body and oversized tires, framing a secondary composition of the suspension and the engine.
"Dune Buggy", from 1979 and in 14 colors, is 30 x 40", signed and titled by Clayton Pond, Printers Proof (of 5 PP made). Part of the American Leisure-time Obsessions Series. Estimated Value $500 - 900
