Vintage 1980s Athena Art Canvas: "Belle de Nuit" by V. Harris (Stretched Canvas, Framed) ATTENTION 1980s POP ART & VINTAGE DECOR COLLECTORS! Up for auction is a gorgeous, authentic piece of 1980s history. This is an original open-edition vintage canvas transfer of "Belle de Nuit" (Beautiful of the Night) by the iconic fashion artist V. Harris. Published by the legendary British art house Athena International, this artwork perfectly captures the striking, minimalist pop art and airbrushed fashion aesthetic that defined the neon decade. With its bold lines, sharp contrast, and mysterious allure, it shares the exact design DNA of legendary 80s masters like Patrick Nagel and Erik Freyman. WHY THIS PIECE IS EXTRA SPECIAL: Unlike most copies found today which are simple flat paper posters, this premium variant is a factory-authorized canvas transfer stretched over a wooden frame. The canvas material features a beautiful, deep canvas-matrix embossing that mimics the heavy texture of an original hand-painted canvas. The back features all authentic, verified factory production stamps and markings, including the official "ATHENA" stamp, inventory tracking numbers, and period pencil workshop codes. ITEM SPECIFICATIONS: Artist: V. Harris (Signed in plate, lower right) Title: Belle de Nuit Publisher: Athena International (Official stamping on inner canvas margin) Era: Circa 1985 Medium: Textured Canvas Transfer over wooden stretcher bars Framing: Housed in its period-correct, minimalist black gallery frame with hanging wire attached Dimensions: 21.5" x 25.5" (Total outer dimensions) CONDITION REPORT: Excellent vintage condition! The canvas is nice and tight across the original wooden stretcher bars. Colors remain deep, crisp, and vivid with excellent contrast. The black frame shows minor, expected vintage wear consistent with age, displaying beautifully on a wall. (Please see high-resolution photos of the signature, backing, and publisher stamps for full authenticity details). Perfect for styling a mid-century modern apartment, retro storefront, or 1980s graphic design collection. This striking lady in a red hat is ready to hang and make a statement in your space! Happy Bidding! Dimensions: 21.5" x 25.5" Pickup category timeslot {A}
