Description
90/100 Boat Race Eight Annabel Eyres 1990
Un-mounted coloured silkscreen showing lino/vorticist high stern view of men's eight in mid stroke. The boat divides the frame into light and dark blue water, and the oarsmen alternate light and dark blue uniforms.
This design was originally utilized to decorate T-shirts for the "Rock the Boat" label, and was later adapted as a print (the signed date represents the date the design was created, not necessarily the date the print was pulled).
Annabel Eyres was a member of the British national rowing squad for years, placing fifth in the women's quad in the 1996 Barcelona Olympics; her powerful, colorful, exuberant and dynamic designs constitute some of the best graphic work celebrating the sport of rowing.
Part of the Thomas E. Weil Collection. Thomas E. Weil is a very knowledgeable and respected collector of rowing memorabilia from all over the world. His extensive collection includes material from many years of the Oxford and Cambridge University Boat Race, and Henley Royal Regatta. He also lectures and writes on rowing history and is a Trustee of the River and Rowing Museum.
