Picked up earlier in 2016, this is a rare original 1960's J.C. Penney's PETER MAX FABRIC Store Display from about 1968. The individual Peter Max fabric panels are about 23" x 20.5" wide - plus header. Purchased on a well known internet auction site, yes them, love it - but - lesson to be learned was the first panel with it's iconic fabric was shown in a blurry photograph while the others were pretty clear with bright color and contrast. I MAY have assumed that the first panel is the same as those and just a bad photo but as you guessed ~ Bingo! - I take it out of the package and know immediately why - it was a little faded. Disappointed but I had already bought a custom size wide rough hewn orange wooden frame for it - couldn't return the frame so what did i do? Framed an interior panel with the previous panel covering the header and well, looks sharp!
TREASURE TROVE !!!
WOW !!!
Great find as you know anything PETER MAX is very collectible not to mention hip.
Peace
WOW!! i really want to find something by Peter Max soon - something i like and that can be used - preferably worn!
I actually went to one of his exhibits years ago and met him. I absolutely love his work.
