Featured in this lot is the Limited Edition Signed Textured Canvas Print, "Reaching For The Stars" by Alan Bean, #806/1500. In Alan Bean's own words, "Reaching for the Stars is a painting of a universal astronaut-symbolizing everyone who flew in Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, and Apollo-Soyuz. It also represents those who fly in space shuttles and will fly on the space station and on future missions only dreamed about at this time. The astronaut is truly an emissary of us all, soaring away from the planet Earth an traveling as far as it is humanly possible to go with the technology available in our age. Although we haven't yet explored distant stars, we are moving inexorably in that direction. But, in a broader view, this lone human figure not only symbolizes those of us in the astronaut profession , but any of us that possess a dedicated and adventurous spirit, no matter what our interest or age. I painted this astronaut, this star sailor, to represent the best in each of us-what we can accomplish and who we can be-if we can create the courage and determination to move in the direction of our dreams. It is up to each of us to keep reaching for our own stars, and to understand that they are not light years distance, but as close as our workplace, our home, and our family."
