Rust Gicleé Shown at Palette & Chisel Art Sale Saturday April 26

Rust, signed and numbered giclee print by George C. Clark from an original painting that is now in the permanent collection of the Illinois State Museums.    AVAILABLE

This new archival print will be shown at a one-day sale at the  PALETTE AND CHISEL ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS at 1012 N. Dearborn Street in Chicago on Saturday, April 26, from 11am to 4pm.  

The image is centered on a 12 x 16 inch sheet of 100% rag Hahnemühle paper with about an inch of white margin all around.  Each print from this edition of 30 is signed and numbered by the artist in pencil on the light green area at the bottom of the image so it can be displayed as is in a 12 x 16 inch frame or matted for display in a larger frame without covering the signature and edition number.  This 12 x 16 inch framed print is priced at $120.  Rust was painted on-site at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, Illinois. 

Other works by Clark in this sale include a small Key West landscape and four paintings of female nudes.

Santa Fe Sign atop the Railway Exchange Building, Chicago

Santa Fe Sign atop the Railway Exchange Building, Chicago,  7 x 9 inch ink, watercolor and colored pencil
by George C. Clark   AVAILABLE

For many years this electric Santa Fe Railroad logo sign appeared atop the historic Railway Exchange Building on Chicago's Michigan Avenue overlooking Grant Park.  It has been replaced now by another corporate logo sign, but the Santa Fe sign has been acquired by the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, Illinois, where it is being restored for display there.  This is how it used to look against the night sky.
