Description

BIG FISH TILE PANEL--THIRD ROW, SECOND FROM RIGHT Color: Black; Blue; Brown A square tile from the "Big Fish" panel, produced as an artist's model by RTK Studios, ca. 1990s. The piece, made from the black-line technique, has a brown border at the bottom. At center is the tail of a large fish, the rest of which is on tile squares 99.35.12.4 and 99.35.12.9. On the right of this is the bottom of a fishing pole and the right leg and foot of a fisherman. In the back is the floor of a pier glazed to show the shadow cast by a fisherman sitting on a crate; only the crate and the bottom portion of the man are on the top left corner. Across the top background is the pale blue ocean. This is the third row, second from right tile in the 15-piece panel, which was in preparation for the final product installed along the Via Casino in Avalon, Catalina Island. With little indication of wear or damage, the object is in good condition.
