Space Art, 1968, Chesley Bonestell Autograph. On a framed color art print (5.5x8", framed to 12.5x15.5") of the magazine cover he painted for the September 1968 edition of Fantasy & Science Fiction magazine. The cover shows an astronaut in the foreground, stranded (?) on an asteroid with what appears to be the fins of a downed spacecraft in front of him. Mounted in its original painted wooden frame, this signed print by the godfather of American space art would be virtually impossible to duplicate today.
All Bonestell works are very closely held among collectors and seldom come on the market. Bonestell, along with Alan Bean and Robert McCall, are the BIG THREE among American space artists. A great, original find.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500.
