Gil Elvgren - Anchors A-Wow (1967)
Great American Pin-Up cover to first edition
Artwork Details
|
DescriptionHere is Gil Elvgren's masterpiece, "Anchors A-Wow", which graces the first edition cover to Louis Meisel & Charles Martignette's original pin-up tome, "The Great American Pin-Up" from 1996. As legendary NYC art dealer Meisel said, "It is the most famous pin-up by the very best [pin-up] artist" and is "the most famous pin-up [painting] in the world". It is simply sublime, and I have truly enjoyed being its caretaker since 2011!Social/Sharing |

Simply stunning. Hard to say whether this is "better" than the Skirting piece since they are both magnificent pieces. Congrats on the addition.

Well, all it should take is about five seconds to realize that this is Gil's best offering. Nothing subjective about it.
