Gigante/Che Painted Banner

Post by bulkhead72 »

Hi folks,

I am more of a lurker here, but wanted to share this Gigante/Che banner that I acquired. It is almost 8 ft tall and came in two separate halves. Sections of it are hand-painted with visible brush strokes. I decided to get them framed separately, in the spirit of the Andre "Left/Right Half" images. I have included both framed and unframed photos. The framed photo is from my framer (Framing Devil) here in Los Angeles. I suspect that this was most likely made in 1997 - the same year that he started BLK/MRKT. It is thin, but not paster thin, and has some heft to it. I wasn't sure where to share this, so apologies for creating a new thread. If there is a more appropriate place to move this post, please feel free to do so.

Enjoy!

I'm bringing it home later this week. It will take up one whole wall at my place. Will either move things around, or possibly display it in my garage.

Not quite sure what I will take down, though! Let’s see. Maybe I will just put a couple of things in storage. :)
