The original photograph was taken at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels in January 2006. In 1972, the awe-inspiring "The Aeromodeller" was first exhibited at Documenta 5 in Kassel, the exhibition that definitively put Panamarenko on the map of international contemporary art. The photograph, printed on Fujifilm Crystal Archive Supreme photo paper, was hand-signed in black felt-tip pen during the "Airship Construction" exhibition in Borgerhout. Professionally framed in a white composite frame with real glass. Frame dimensions: 18.8 x 24.8 x 1.4 cm (7.4” x 9.8” x 0.55”) (H x W x D).
In 1969, Panamarenko began building "The Aeromodeller," the largest airship he would ever build and an icon in his oeuvre. Construction of this enormous zeppelin lasted until 1971. The artist sought freedom and yearned for discovery.
