F-111 Solo B (Air Force)
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. In F-111: Solo B (Air Force), we see the colorful depictions of a mushroom cloud, a pile of spaghetti and a young girl in a 60s hair-dryer – seemingly contradictory symbols of 60s America.
