Archive: "Push Start Car" (1996)


CHRISTIAN MONTONE
"Push Start Car" (1996)
Acrylic on wheatpaste and board.  Size: 17 x 21 inches.

Painted during the peak of my wind-up vintage toy fixation.
Many times, the wheatpaste layer (that I would affix to board as a ground for painting) was cut down 
from large sections of layered advertising posters that were plastered on buildings and sidewalk sheds in NYC.
