Description
Von Dutch "Flying Eyeball Sign" from his studio in Rattle Snake Gulch, Arizona The original Flying Eyeball Sign thatVon Dutch made in 1972 to hang above his shop/studio in Rattle Snake Gulch, AZ. [Tempe]. Dutch [Kenneth Howard] claimed he borrowed the image from the ancient Egyptian and Macedonian cultures and transformed it into his high octane hot rod trade mark. It was made from a 4 by 8' sheet of plywood and has a great desert patina to it; It presently presides in its own 4' by 9' shadow box. Most recently it appeared after many years in the kustom kulture underground as one of the "stars" of the California State University Northridge Art Galleries exhibit 'Von Dutch: An American Original', Oct. 2002. The sign comes with a hand written letter from Dutch's right hand man Butch" The Butcher"Tucker authenticating the sign and photos and another letter fromVirginia Howard Reyes, Dutch's sister. This is one of the most significantVon Dutch relics in the world. A once in a life time kustom kulture/hot rod acquisition opportunity. No Reserve.
