Original Painting for Chuck Berry's 1974 LP Chuck Berry's Golden Decade Vol. 3 by Charles E. White, III (Airbrushed on Board)

Offered is a large original airbrush painting by noted artist Charles E. White, III for Chuck Berry's 1974 LP Chuck Berry's Golden Decade Vol. 3. The work, airbrushed on illustration board, is aptly titled “Gas Station” by White, whose career spanned more than three decades and was defined by his shirking of convention in his work. He helped define the airbrush artwork look that was popularized during the 1970s and 1980s. He was celebrated in his era, even having his work displayed at the Museum of Modern Art during a 1988 poster show. The offered artwork features Berry as the gas station attendant, offering up one more serving from his “Decade” of work on Chess records. White's other album artwork includes Chuck Berry's Golden Decade Vol. 1, also offered in this sale, as well as Cheech and Chong's historic comedy LP Up In Smoke. Accompanying the artwork is a copy of the original LP, and there is also a cover of the LP cover mounted on the reverse of the frame, for reference. The painting measures 18 x 33 inches and is framed to a size of 24 x 38 ½ inches. Near Mint to Mint condition.
