"The Fairbanks: XXIII Olympiad" Signed and Numbered *Limited Edition Original Serigraph

Painted Area: 21" x 28"

Numerical Edition: 200

"Limited Edition" refers to the fact that there is only a certain amount, or "limited" number of serigraphs printed of a specific piece of artwork. After the edition is printed, all of the original artwork and screens used to make the print are destroyed or effaced. This ensures that no additional prints of this image will be made in the future. This is the opposite of an "Open Edition," where public demand determines the number of pieces included in an edition.

The limited life of the stencil prevents unlimited editions. Additionally, variables in the process of hand-pulling serigraphs mean that each individual serigraph is slightly different from each other serigraph in the edition. Minor deviations in color registration, paint distribution, and variations yield individual pieces that are truly "one-of-a-kind" or "original."

This original hand done serigraph print by America's Sports Artist, Rick Rush, has been titled “The Fairbanks: XXIII Olympiad.” This print depicts the likeness of internationally known rider Bruce Davidson. The site is the equestrian event at the Fairbanks Ranch. Prince Phillip and other officials had searched for the perfect location to host this event. They chose the Fairbanks Ranch. This was the location that former actor Douglas Fairbanks had chosen to build his dream home but never completed it before his death. Internationally known equestrian designer Neil Ayer designed the course. Rick went to visit and examine the course with Neil before beginning his work. The jump shown was named the Fairbanks and was a multilevel jump for the horse.
