Signed to bottom right corner "Letterman"; measures approximately 30-1/4" x 60-3/16" with frame and has a sight image of approximately 28-13/16" x 58-7/8"; in Good overall condition. The typical “Letterman” painting is not a painting at all. Most of them were manufactured (using a silkscreen-like process) in the Far East during the 1970s and sold at JC Penney for a retail price of $150 to $400 dollars.The original artist was typically a “company man” or woman and therefore not acknowledged. They were contract or salary employees whose work-product remained property of the company they worked for. Their work was copied much like a computer graphics image is copied to create T-shirts using multi-colored passes and a silk-screen pattern. The “signature” is typically blocked style with the lower (horizontal) portion of the L extended.
