Description
Alan Bean Signed Limited Edition Giclée Canvas "A Giant Leap." A 12" x 15" color canvas print on a wooden stretcher, from an original acrylic painting by Bean, signed lower right in gold: "Alan Bean 82/175". Painted to honor the fortieth anniversary of Armstrong's first step on the moon. Shepard describes this work:" In this painting, I show Neil shifting his weight from his right foot, which is resting on the lunar module landing pad, to his left on the Moon. This would be considered the first human footprint on the Moon. '...one small step for man...' He would then shift his weight back to his right foot, still on the landing pad, lift his left foot and make some technical observations about the historic footprint. As the centuries unfold, there will be first steps on Mars and other celestial bodies. They will be much farther away than our Moon, but none will ever be a more giant leap for humankind than the one made by Neil Armstrong and all the people when helped him make that leap on July 20, 1969." Condition is as issued.Included with this lot is the original Certificate of Authenticity from the issuing gallery.
