Lot description

David Klein Fly TWA / California vintage poster c. 1967 offset lithograph in colors 40 h x 24.875 w in (102 x 63 cm) The act of looking at a horseback rider through the trunk of tree is a somewhat surreal event. However, in the case of California's drive-thru redwoods-the most famous of which is the 315-foot Chandelier Drive-Through Tree in Leggett-there's no hyperbole at play. The attraction, which opened more than sixty years ago, is the impressive focal point of a 200-acre redwood grove. And the quickest way to get there? Without a doubt it's Trans World Airlines, who wisely directed David Klein to dispense with the aircraft altogether. Because seriously, what plane could compete with an ancient coniferous tree with its own thruway. Literature: Huhne, p. 73; Airline Visual Identity p. 81 This work will ship from Chicago, Illinois.
