This is a classic example of the work of Franco Costa who created many images related to sailing, including this work when he was the official artist of the America's Cup. While this piece is unsigned, signed versions of the same piece can be found on the internet. It is on heavy paper. Colors are vibrant.
Franco Costa (1934-2015) was an Italian artist born in Rome whose works have been exhibited in New York, Washington, Newport, Paris, London, Copenhagen, Oslo and many other cities. His art ranges between pictorial themes such as landscapes, flowers, the sea, and sporting events such as sailing competitions, tennis, skiing, horse riding, car racing.
In 1980 he was official artist of the America's Cup, which led the way for his participation in several other sporting events such as the Whitbred Round World Race, Sky Race Vesalloppet and the sailing races of Barcelona Olympics on behalf of the French Sailing Federation. Equally important are the works created for some significant humanitarian initiatives such as the International Year Of Child for Unicef, Food for All for Fao, 2000 Enfants pour l'Anne 2000, and the Light of Sweden Foundation. Among other charitable purposes, the foundation was founded for starving children around the world. The artist donated part of his income and also motivated other people to donate.
