About the Work

The iconic image of the ice cream sandwich evokes a comforting nostalgia, calling to mind childhood memories of playgrounds and endless summers. The simplicity of the illustration is Slaughter's homage to Ed Ruscha's floating book etching from the 60s, which plays with how one's eye perceives something that's actually not there. "The magic is that your eye perceives the ice cream. That's where the art is. Emotionally it's really about something else," Slaughter says. While living in a small summer cottage near Peconic Bay, the artist got the idea for this drawing while listening to the jingle of the ice cream truck drifting by each afternoon.

Artist Biography

Thomas Slaughter (1955 – 2014), was an artist, designer, and illustrator who lived and worked in New York City. Discovered by Henry Geldzahler in the 1980’s, Slaughter had more than 30 solo exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Vancouver, Germany and Japan. He worked as a printmaker in collaboration with Durham Press for 25 years, and his editions are included in the permanent collections of MoMA and the Whitney Museum of American Art. He illustrated twelve children’s books, which have been translated into six languages. Slaughter also worked for the last ten seasons as the Art Director for the New Victory Theater. As a designer, he created everything from t-shirts to skateboard decks, beach towels as well as a line of wallpaper for Cavern Home. Slaughter served on the board of directors of MoMA PS1, the Public Theater, and the Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation. As a director of the Goldsmith Foundation, Slaughter was instrumental in the Foundation’s support of numerous art and theater organizations including The Drawing Center, Naked Angels, and the Studio Museum in Harlem. Slaughter will be remembered as a consummate New Yorker, a vivid institution in his SoHo community.

Framing

Framed artwork is custom framed once it is ordered. Allow 3-5 weeks for framing and delivery.

FRAME
All of our frames are made from sustainably sourced engineered hardwood that is manufactured in the USA. Frames are available in Black or White Matte and Walnut.

MAT
Prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Cellulose matboard, using acid-free polyethylene cloth tape. Each mat’s surface paper is fade and bleed resistant and is attached to a conversation quality foam-core board. Some of our work (typically those pieces with a deckled edge) is floated on the matboard with spacers to separate the artwork from the glazing.

GLAZING
We use museum quality .060 mm plexiglass to frame your work. It blocks 82-85% of UV rays to prevent color fading from exposure to light, protecting your art for years to come.

DIMENSIONS
Our White and Black frames have a ⅞” wide flat face and are 15/16” deep. Mats are 1” wide for prints up to 8” x 10”. Mats are 2” wide for prints larger than 8” x 10”.

Our Natural and Walnut frames have a ¾” wide flat face and are 1 ⅛” deep. Mats are 1” wide for prints up to 8” x 10”. Mats are 2” wide for prints larger than 8” x 10”.
