AARON FINE (DATES UNKNOWN)

FLY 'ROUND SOUTH AMERICA BY JET / VIA PANAGRA AND PAN AMERICAN. Circa 1959.


41 3/4x27 1/2 inches, 106x69 3/4 cm.
Condition A-: minor creases and repaired tears at edges; repaired pin holes in corners.

Fine's posters for Pan Am in the late 1950s and early 1960s captured the excitement of this burgeoning era and are characterized by their simplistic modernity. In addition to his bright, collage-like design work, Fine was also a children's book illustrator and a playwright. Andy Warhol, who was a friend, designed the stage sets for Fine's play, My Blackmailer, which was one of only three plays for which Warhol designed sets. Rare. We could find no other copies at auction.
