Oil on canvas; large framed oil painting of a butterfly and mountain; signed Lee Reynolds; measures approximately 49-1/2" x 61" with frame and has a sight image of approximately the same; aged gold frame; signed in bottom left corner. In the art-boom ’80s, Mark Kostabi set up an art sweatshop where struggling East Village painters made Kostabi-esque works under his not-so-watchful eye. But in 1965, Lee Reynolds Burr and his Vanguard Studios were there first. His original “art factory” in Beverly Hills produced more painted canvases bearing one signature than any artist in history, but none of the artworks for sale were actually painted by him.
