ships first class mail in a specially reinforced poster mailer tube.
"Lowell, who was fondly known by his best friends as "the Living Legend", "H", "Lorenzo," and "Mr. Wonderful", enjoyed a long career in commercial and fine art. After his formal art education at CCAC he immediately embarked on a very successful career in advertising illustration and design. He started at the bottom, as part of a large studio, and worked his way to the top-eventually starting his own graphic design agency, Butte, Herrero and Hyde, which was extremely successful. The three partners, all artists, each yearned to be free of the corporate life. They dissolved their business amicably, and Herrero embarked on a new phase of his life perfecting his true passion, fine art, with the unconditional support and blessings of his wife, Janet Gentile of San Francisco. In 1993, Herrero designed and constructed a new studio on Mount Saint Helena, at the top of the Napa Valley. The location and size of the studio greatly influenced his work giving him compelling new subject matter and allowing him to paint in a large format."
"Lowell Of Calistoga, CA, died from natural causes on November 28, 2015 at the young age of 94 after a very active and full life."
As Part of the Nut Tree Aviation and Photo collection in 1996, I am pleased to offer for your puchase this beautiful 17 x 22 poster/print of Lowell Herrero’s interpretation of Coit Tower in San Francisco. Named, "Lowell Herrero Paints for Love, Fun, and Money", this was originally displayed as a celebratory art unveiling at the Nut Tree in Vacaville between May 15th and September 15, 1970. This is a museum quality print and I would truly consider bidding on this piece.
As part of the Nut Tree collection, these are no longer available anywhere. The Nut Tree, a huge icon today in name only, was a famous restaurant, memorabilia shopping center, and airport in Vacaville, California. The shopping center closed in January, 1996. It originally had its origin as early as 1860, and gave weary travelers welcome shade to those going back and forth to the hot Sacramento Valley. Now closed and with only the airport still in operation, these Nut Tree photo collections are very rare. Your print will be delivered rolled in a specially reinforced priority poster tube to prevent damage.
This poster is over 43 years old.
