Ken Auster and Greg Noll Signed Serigraph Print (PP 13/50)

This is a limited edition serigraph print created by renowned surf artist Ken Auster, featuring legendary surfer Greg 'Da Bull' Noll. The artwork depicts a lone surfer standing on a shore with his surfboard, facing a massive, looming blue wave, captured in Auster's signature impressionistic style. The piece is a 'Printer's Proof' (PP), numbered 13/50, which typically indicates a set of prints set aside for the printer and artists, often highly sought after by collectors. The print is hand-signed by both Ken Auster and Greg Noll along the bottom margin. The composition utilizes a palette of vibrant blues, teals, and whites to represent the ocean's power, contrasted with the neutral tones of the sand and the figure. The item is professionally housed in a light-colored wood frame with a deep multi-layered white matting that includes a blue decorative fillet. The overall condition appears excellent with no visible fading, foxing, or moisture damage to the paper. Given that both Auster and Noll are deceased, this double-signed collaborative piece carries significant historical value within the surf culture and fine art markets. The craftsmanship of the serigraph process is evident in the rich, layered application of ink characteristic of high-quality screen printing.
