John Baeder, “Grand Canyon Trading Post”

$135,000.00

John Baeder (b.1938) has been described as the leading visual chronicler of American roadside culture. Emerging from the advertising world of New York’s Madison Avenue, Baeder was discovered by Ivan Karp, protégé of Leo Castelli, who identified and championed Photorealism and Pop Art. “Grand Canyon Trading Post”, an early painting by Baeder, reflects his interests in postcards and their revelations as to the American ethos. There is a haunting quality about the robotic “totem poles”, sentinels posted at either end of the trading post, portrayed in exquisite variations of black and white, that speaks to the West and our common cultural roots.

“Grand Canyon Trading Post”— 30 x 48 in. Oil on canvas, 1972. Presented in collaboration with ACA Galleries, New York. $120,000
