Ken Auster 'Greg Noll' Signed and Numbered Limited Edition Printers Proof (PP 13/50)

This is a limited edition fine art print by the renowned surf artist Ken Auster, featuring legendary surfer Greg Noll. The image depicts Noll in his iconic black and white striped trunks standing on a beach with a longboard, set against a backdrop of a crashing blue wave. This piece is particularly significant as it is a Printer's Proof (marked PP 13/50 in the lower-left margin), indicating its status as a high-quality trial impression produced during the printing process. The print is hand-signed by both the artist, Ken Auster, and the subject, Greg Noll, in the lower margin. The artwork is professionally framed in a light-toned natural wood frame with a wide, tiered white matting that includes a blue decorative accent line. The color palette is dominated by vibrant blues, teals, and seafoam whites, capturing the atmospheric light typical of Auster's impressionistic style. In terms of condition, the print appears well-preserved behind glass; however, there is a prominent reflection of the photographer visible on the glass surface. The frame is in good structural condition with no major gouges or separation at the mitered corners. This piece represents a dual-collectible item, appealing to both fine art enthusiasts and surf history aficionados, likely dating from the 1990s or early 2000s when Auster and Noll collaborated on several iconic releases.
