Description: General Motors Pavilion at the 1964 World's Fair.
Comment: Searle's keen sense of observation and humor are a fine pairing with his strong draftsmanship. Since turning 90 earlier this year, he has attracted another generation of fans. In fact, he's probably more instantly-recognizable now than ever before... a great testimonial to this prolific artist. A copy of the magazine accompanies the purchase of the artwork.
