Est. $3,000-$3,500 Peter Max (American; 1937-) "World Cup '94" Hand Signed Framed Serigraph - This piece is an World Cup '94 serigraph by Peter Max. Peter Max was chosen to create the official poster for the 1994 FIFA World Cup, which was adorned with vibrant colors, and depicted a footballer thumping a ball into space. According to Max, it symbolised the universal attraction of sport, while the pattern was simple and reduced the theme dealt with to its bare essentials. This piece is hand signed by the artist in the lower left corner, and is in beautiful condition. The piece has been professionally framed, and measures approx. 42" x 29.5" (including the frame). This is an excellent investment piece, as Peter Max is arguably America's most popular living artist.
