Acquire a rare museum-quality artifact of 1970s sports art with this large framed composition by Lou Zansky titled On the Slopes. Lou Zansky was a prominent member of the Donald Art Company (DAC) Collection, and this piece is consistent with the high-end ceramic tile productions commissioned by the company during the mid-1970s. The artwork features Zansky's iconic 1975 alpine imagery professionally applied in a heavy, textured celluloid finish over a backing of twelve 6 inch by 6 inch porcelain tiles. The 3x4 tile grid is set against a natural jute fabric background with a rustic potato sack or burlap texture, which has developed a beautiful yellowish vintage patina naturally through the decades.
Measuring approximately 31-1/8 inches by 26 inches, this substantial work is housed in its original heavy wooden frame. Unlike standard paper prints, these limited gallery-edition mosaics were premium commissions, making this an exceptionally rare find for collectors of vintage ski memorabilia, 1970s design, or official Lou Zansky works. This is a seasoned, pre-owned vintage piece with nearly 50 years of history. The celluloid faces remain completely intact with an authentic vintage texture that is not perfectly smooth, a characteristic of this specific archival mounting process. You will notice some minor lifting at the very edges of the laminate in some areas, which is consistent with the age of these materials. These details serve as the physical fingerprint of its provenance for the serious investor. This item is sold as-is. Please review all photos carefully and ask any questions before purchase.
