Description :
Mid-Century Modern String Art Sailboat – Framed Nautical Design (c. 1970s) A striking mid-century modern string art piece, depicting a stylized sailing vessel crafted from metallic and copper-hued threads over a black velvet ground. The thread is anchored to a wooden base with precision nails, forming dynamic geometric curves that suggest sails filled with wind. The piece is mounted in a substantial solid wood frame, adding depth and presence. Era: Circa 1960s–70s Design: Sailboat composition in metallic/copper string over black velvet backing Materials: String, velvet, nails, and wood frame Size: Approx. 25” H × 25” W (large format compared to standard string art) Condition: Very good vintage condition with light surface wear to frame; string work is intact. Notes on Attribution: Similar works from this period were produced by notable American string artists in the early 1970s (such as Bob Kramer, who signed and dated comparable examples). While this piece is unsigned, it aligns closely with the form and quality of those documented works. Estimated Value: Based on auction and marketplace comparables, similar framed mid-century sailboat string art has been valued between $300–$500 depending on size and attribution, with larger signed examples achieving higher results.
