Original Space Artist Andreas Nottebohm Acrylic on Aluminum Painting KNM 1387
About the Item
Visionary, abstract original acrylic on aluminum painting by famous NASA Space Artist, Andreas Nottebohn, titled "KNM 1387" depicts a colorful, otherworldly scene on a shimmering sheet of scored metal. This incredible celestial painting frees the viewer from a one dimensional perspective by suggesting a vast and mysterious distance.
Information on the back of the painting states, “KNM 1387 Spec 1 of 48 similar original paintings 1996 30 x 24 Acrylic on Aluminum”. Hand signed by the artist in the lower left corner.
Very nicely custom framed in a transitional style black frame with wide silver inner lining. Framed, the painting measures approximately 35" high x 29" wide x 2" deep. Unframed painting measures approximately 30" high x 24" wide.
One of the key innovators of metal painting, Nottebohm creates what might be called sculptures on a flat plane. By removing microscopic layers from the metal surface, he transforms the material into patterns of shimmering light. The unusual luminous quality of Nottebohm's work comes from the aluminum surfaces he scores, using a variety of manual and machine tools. Aluminum can create light and movement that you cannot create with anything else. It is similar to the sun reflecting on water, and you see one painting from one side and another painting from another side.
East German born (1944) Andreas Nottebohm moved to Munich as a teenager and immigrated to the San Francisco Bay area of the United States in 1979, after touring the U.S. for a one man exhibition. While in Germany in the 1970s, he was one of the co-founders of the Society for Art and Science in Munich.
Around the time he relocated to the United States, he was invited to participate in the NASA Art Program and visit the Jet Propulsion Laboratory when Voyager 2 sent back images from its closest encounter with Saturn in August, 1981. Nottebohm later witnessed four shuttle launches. NASA chose him to create a series of works representing the fusion of technology and human aspiration that was the ideal of the American space program. He was also asked to create a painting commemorating Haley's Comet, a work that was featured at the National Air and Space Museum, and a reproduction of that painting was included in the November 1985 issue of "Smithsonian Magazine". In 1987 the Kennedy Space Center celebrated its 25th anniversary, using a Nottebohm painting on the cover of the invitation, the poster and the program. Nottebohm's work is included in the collections of the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum, Washington, D.C., the NASA Art Collection and numerous private collections around the world. He has had over 100 one man shows in Europe and the United States.
