F-111 Solo A (Tire)
Limited Edition of 100
Limited Edition of 100
In this first collaboration with the James Rosenquist Foundation, THE SKATEROOM presents the American pop-art master’s work, F-111, across four limited skateboard editions.
Painted during 1964-65 – in the middle of one of America’s most turbulent decades – the art piece addresses the connection between the Vietnam War, consumerism and advertising. Part of MoMA’s collection, F-111 is a dramatic parade of juxtapositions, highlighting the sinister contradictions of 60s America. In F-111: Solo A (Tire), THE SKATEROOM focuses on the detail of a Firestone tire, superimposed over the colorful fuselage of the infamous fighter-jet.
