A for Apple (1963) by Billy Apple: A Conceptual Pop Art Milestone
Elevate your collection with the iconic 'A for Apple' (1963) by the visionary artist Billy Apple. This museum-quality reproduction captures a defining moment in the history of Pop Art and conceptual branding. Created shortly after the artist’s radical transformation from Barrie Bates to Billy Apple, this work serves as a foundational exploration of identity as a commercial entity.
As a RedKalion curated piece, this 70x100 cm (28x40 inches) framed art print is more than a decorative element; it is a piece of art history. The bold graphic sensibility of the 1960s is preserved through our meticulous printing process, ensuring that the vibrant contrast and clean lines remain as striking as the original 1963 exhibition piece.
Archival Materials and Sophisticated Craftsmanship
At RedKalion, we believe a masterpiece deserves an enduring presentation. This print is rendered on 250 gsm (110 lb) archival museum-quality paper. The paper features a matte, uncoated, natural white finish that prevents glare and allows the depth of the ink to resonate without distraction. To ensure environmental integrity, we utilize FSC-certified materials or equivalent sustainable sources.
The artwork is housed in a premium black wooden frame, crafted from responsibly sourced oak and ash. Measuring 20mm (0.79") in both thickness and width, this frame provides a substantial, gallery-standard profile that surpasses the common 14mm alternatives. Each piece is protected by shatterproof plexiglass, providing crystal-clear visibility while safeguarding the artwork from UV damage and physical wear.
