Featured Artwork: Peter Max’s “God Bless America III”

One of the standout pieces in this sale is Lot 78, a mixed media masterpiece by the legendary artist Peter Max. Titled “God Bless America III with Five Liberties”, this work of art combines acrylic painting with color lithography, creating a vibrant, multi-dimensional composition.

Peter Max, known for his cosmic imagery and multi-colored blends, has been a cultural icon since the 1960s, and his work continues to be celebrated globally. Born in Berlin and having lived across the world before settling in the United States, Max’s style has been shaped by a life rich in diverse experiences. His new age, psychedelic art captivated millions during the late 60s and 70s, and his influence remains strong today.

• Details: The painting, dated 2005, is signed on the lower right and comes with a COA and appraisal sheet from Park West. While the piece is in great condition, it does have some minor damage along the edges of the frame. Measuring 38.5″ tall by 22″ wide, this artwork is a striking representation of Max’s colorful and optimistic style. It’s a rare opportunity to own a piece from one of the most recognized artists of our time.

Another Must-See: Earl Carpenter’s “Pink Smoke”

In addition to the work by Peter Max, this auction features another captivating painting, Lot 124, an oil on board titled “Pink Smoke” by artist Earl Carpenter. This large-scale painting, measuring 34.5″ tall by 58″ wide, captures a serene Western mountain scene with delicate clouds, showcasing Carpenter’s talent for rendering nature’s beauty.

Earl Carpenter, born in Long Beach, California, in 1931, began his career after serving in the U.S. Air Force. His experience flying inspired many of his early paintings, often cloudscapes. After moving to Arizona, Carpenter devoted himself to capturing the majesty of the Grand Canyon and other breathtaking American landscapes. His work goes beyond mere photographic representation, conveying the awe and emotion these landscapes evoke in him.

Carpenter’s works have been widely collected and admired, and “Pink Smoke” is a perfect example of his ability to capture the beauty of the American West. This piece, like many others in the sale, is offered with no reserve, and the bidding will start at just $10.00.
