It's funny, if you look at the Designer page I implore Ken Fulk to send in pictures of the Gold Knot he purchased.

Well those photos have surfaced, and in the pages of Architectural Digest no less!

So you don't need to be an Instagram founder like Kevin Systrom to afford Ken Fulk.  Simply grab one of the last few vintage Gold Knots before they're gone!

And on a side note here's Ken Fulk's instagram photo of him with Bong Joon Ho at last night's Oscar party:

Every once in awhile the internet delivers MidCenturArt a little nugget of Gold worthy of a standalone blog post.  Here is that bold 1970s Supergraphic Gold Knot Pair from one of our valued customers Patina of New York City:

There's a bit about Alan Buchsbaum who helped start the Supergraphic movement in this Houzz article:

7 Game-Changing LGBT Architects and Design Pros You Should Know

Check out a few shots of  MidCenturyArt.com Supergraphics! (we also have some listings on Houzz)

Alan Buchsbaum

"Alan Buchsbaum’s bold colors and modern lines injected New York’s houses, businesses and lofts with new life in the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s. The Georgia native made a name for himself as one of the creators of the High Tech architecture style, a genre known for its playful shapes, funky materials like plastic and vinyl, and industrial influences. Buchsbaum also helped introduce the oversize images called supergraphics to American tastes."

It was so nice to hear from Reid Neubert's wife of 10 years.

Reid designed the most popular Supergraphic on this site:

Tulips

Here is what she had to say:
 
Hi Michael,

When I started dating Reid back in 2004, he had his own marketing/ branding business, Reid Neubert and Friends. I knew that he had done graphic designs before, however I did not know in what capacity. 

Reid had an architecture degree from Berkeley. Never a practicing architect. He said to me that it was a great foundation to go from. After graduating from college he did some hand drafting for an architecture firm out of Sausalito. He really enjoyed the lettering aspect and could copy the main architect lettering. From there apparently he went into graphic design, eventually starting his own Marketing/Branding consulting business.

He was an amazing photographer and sold his photograph images to Art.com and Getty images 
Reid was diagnosed six months after we started with salivary gland cancer. Reid and I exchanged rings in 2006, eventually getting married in 2009. We resided in San Rafael, CA until his death. I have attached a photo of us from 2012.

He was an avid sailor and I think he was at most peace when he was sailing. He was a volunteer for the Blue Water foundation, a nonprofit organization that takes unprivileged kids out on to bay to teach them about sailing. He loved working with the kids. https://www.bluewaterfoundation.org/
​
In addition, Reid love to social dance. In particular, West Coast Swing. After introducing it to me, we would go to as many West Coast dances as possible.

Before he became too ill to work, we designed a couple of kitchens. It was really fun working together. I wish we could have done a lot more together. See link for portfolio of our design work:

I was very lucky to have had him my life!

Best,

Moira

Am I missing any other local tech companies?

​​I've always said our 1970s Supergraphics are perfect for offices.  Bay Area Tech companies better act fast, before they are all sold out!

Here's a few photos from a local office to give you an idea of the potential:

Nice spread, thanks Coastal Living for featuring our very own Tulip in your April 2017 issue.

MCA (MidCenturyArt.com) is small word-of-mouth operation so publicity definitely has its drawbacks =) These practically sold out overnight so we had to increase the price on the last Single and Set available.

Reminder people!  All Mid-Century Art Supergraphics for sale on this site are vintage originals.  That means when they sell out, they're gone, as in bye bye no longer available for purchase!  

Mekanism San Francisco is the coolest creative agency on the planet.  Even before they purchased a few Supergraphics for their office.  Not to mention their work on the Sierra Club's "Beyond Coal Initiative".
