Original Mixed media painting, "The Future Asteroid" by Artist Samuel Shapiro (1921-1999)
This piece showcases Samuel Shapiro's futuristic foresight, depicting a self-sustaining, man-made city nestled within the cradle of an asteroid. The scene captures this colossal spacefaring structure as it serenely hovers above a desolate planet, evoking a sense of wonder and the endless possibilities of human ingenuity.
Painted in 1978, this vintage piece is a wonderful example of 1970’s conceptual art depicting outer space habitation.
