About the Item

THE MAIN ATTRACTION is an original hand drawn limited edition lithograph by the British artist, Michael Hasted printed using hand lithography on archival Somerset paper, 100% acid free. THE MAIN ATTRACTION is a surrealist scene depicting a a full dark black tree standing alone onstage half hidden behind a heavy dark Indian red stage curtain, a single fallen olive green leaf rests on the light tan wood planked floor below. The dark blue night sky with full moon and stars in the background adds to the mysterious and ominous setting. Print size - 23.5 x 18. 5 in., unframed, excellent condition, pencil signed by Michael Hasted Edition size - 250 Year published - 1981 Printer - JK Fine Art Editions Co. NY In addition to painting, Mr. Hasted has worked for may years as a writer and theater director, journalist and photographer. It was in the early 1970s when he took up illustration and painting and produced over 300 book jackets and magazine illustrations including for Playboy with whom he worked for 20 years. His artistic style is reminiscent of the renowned Surrealist painter Rene Magritte. In Hasted's world the scenery -- symbolic of nature and the stars occupies center stage, as if to remind us that the things truly worth looking at are the ones we take for granted. His paintings have been exhibited extensively in Europe, Japan and America and are in public collections in England, France, Greece and USA.

  • Banksy Walled Off Hotel Visit Historic Palestine Stamped with C.O.A. Street Art
    By Banksy
    Located in Draper, UT
    The artwork was personally obtained by me when I visited the Walled Off Hotel. It has a stamp in the lower left corner that reads, "The Walled Off Hotel". Comes with Certificate of Authenticity from the Hotel which also has a stamp on it. The verso of the print is also a stamp which cannot be seen from the front of the print. The print is in pristine condition and has been stored flat since my arrival back from the Hotel. Also has four crisp corners and is in near mint/mint condition. Banksy’s career—filled with art world pranks and political activism—has produced a variety of posters showcasing the street artist’s wry sense of humor. Commissioned by Greenpeace to protest global deforestation, Banksy’s early poster Save or Delete (2002) features blindfolded characters from Disney’s The Jungle Book standing amidst a devastated landscape. In 2005, Banksy pranked The Museum of Modern Art by secretly installing a painting of a Tesco Value soup can (a spoof on Andy Warhol’s famous silkscreens of Campbell’s Soup Cans) in one of its galleries—a hoax that went unnoticed by the museum’s staff for six days and inspired a series of Tesco Value soup can posters years later. Collectible Banksy posters also include promotional prints for his exhibition “Barely Legal...
