Gene Davis Popcorn Tie

Description This tie was inspired by the artwork of Gene Davis. Gene Davis was an American painter who is most known for his paintings of colorful vertical stripes, which he began painting in 1985. In 1972 Davis created Franklin's Footpath, which was at the time the world's largest artwork, by painting colorful stripes on the street in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the world's largest painting, Niagara (43,680 square feet), in a parking lot in Lewiston, NY. His "micro-paintings", on the other extreme, were as small as 3/8 of an inch square. This painting is inspired from an image in the Collection of the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.
