Howard Finster ORIGINAL PAINTING from 1985 Folk Art / Outsider
I acquired this piece from a former Executive Vice President/General Manager of Warner Bros. Records where he worked with REM among many other major acts. Howard Finster painted the cover art for REMs LP Reckoning and did other projects with the group in the 80s. This painting is amazing, both visually striking and referencing some of the themes in his work (Biblical references, UFOs). Finster framed the work and provided the cardboard backing, noting GLASS CARE (I recall being informed that the painting was done on a mirror). Finally, Finster noted the date of the painting (Oct 16, 1985) and the painting number 4000.829 works of art since 1976 – God reportedly asked him to do 5,000 paintings to spread the gospel and Finster wanted to keep track; this was number 4,829; He apparently made it to 5,000 at the end of 1985. A rare chance to own an amazing piece of art. The item “Howard Finster ORIGINAL PAINTING from 1985 Folk Art / Outsider” is in sale since Sunday, August 5, 2018.
