Description

A skier mid-flight. A red sun burning behind him. This signed 1970s silkscreen by Thomas W. Benton distills the thrill of alpine speed into stark, unforgettable form. Known for his politically charged posters and deep ties to Colorado’s creative scene, Benton brought his signature clarity and punch to this limited-run Aspen print.

The composition is clean but commanding: a crouched skier in black silhouette, flanked by a vivid red sun and anchored by the lowercase “aspen” typography. It's a perfect reflection of 1970s design culture—where activism, adventure, and art collided. Signed in pencil by the artist and presented in its original vintage aluminum frame, this piece offers collectible appeal and cultural weight in equal measure.
