Andrew VanSickle "Pink Weeping Supergirl/Roebling Bridge 1866" Signed Industrial Ink Jet on Canvas

Item Details

A signed industrial ink jet print on canvas titled, Pink Weeping Supergirl/Roebling Bridge 1866, by Cincinnati artist, Andrew VanSickle, best known for his unique pop art pieces. This piece of artwork depicts a black outline of Supergirl wiping her eyes with a handkerchief while a single tear runs down her cheek on a pink version of a print featuring the Roebling Suspension Bridge in Cincinnati. The original photo, taken by the Strobridge Lithograph Company, depicts the opening of the Roebling Bridge in 1866, where the ‘wealthier’ citizens paid twenty-five cents for a copy of this print in black and white as they casually strolled across the bridge from Cincinnati into Covington, Kentucky. This piece of artwork also features a title near the bottom marked, Cincinnati and Covington Suspension Bridge, along with various building and architecture information on either side. The print is signed by the artist to the verso, along with the title, date, and a random, abstract drawing, which Andrew includes on each of his pieces of artwork.

The original weeping Supergirl photo comes from a vintage 1940s era Superman comic in which Lois Lane dreams of becoming Supergirl. When things don’t go as planned, she questions whether or not it is worth it to be Supergirl and starts to weep thinking about her old, normal life.
