Apollo 17, 1972, Unaccepted Al Stevens Crew Patch Painting (10x10") This mixed media original artwork on posterboard by artist Al Stevens is an unaccepted design concept for the flight's crew patch. The painting was done on tissue paper which was then mounted on the posterboard. Unusual. Stevens did the final design artwork for Apollo 1, 7, 9 and 10 and made design proposals for Apollo 11, 12 and 17. Unique, striking and quite important.
Estimated Value $500 - 750.
