Featured in this lot is a giclee on canvas called "The Art of a Peel," circa 2003, by California artist Ken Auster. Auster was born in 1949, and he died in 2016. The painting features a wonderfully and professionally crafted giclee on canvas construction that shows four chefs peeling a tomato in a line kitchen. The artist signature can be seen on the right side and right corner of the painting and is numbered 91/100. Raised in Long Beach, Ken Auster early established a reputation as the surfers' artist, having designed and executed numerous surfer-motif tee shirts in silk screen. He worked from a garage and printed hundreds of commercial T-shirts, which became a large operation called California T-Shirts. For more than a decade, the shirt is became signature casual wear for surfers and were sold through 26 of Auster's retail outlets. In the 1980s, the business fell apart which was a relief to him because his interest had turned to fine art. He moved to Laguna Beach and after creating collages and serigraphs, he began oil painting and did popular surfing scenes. Ken Auster won First Prize at the Carmel Arts Festival in 2002. Ken Auster passed away January 29, 2016. The condition of this giclee on canvas is good with no obvious signs of damage and shows good overall condition. The measurements of this giclee on canvas are 14 3/4" x 23 7/8".*
