A stunning study of Mission San Jose, San Antonio, by Rick Hunter. A rare piece of photography by the celebrated artist in Black and White.  The picture measures 44.5 inches by 44.5 inches  and is surrounded by a black frame.

Rick Hunter, loved the San Antonio Missions and took many photos of them. Study 9, is a quite rare piece and was from Rick Hunter's 2009 series. The picture was shot with his old antique camera that shot upside down and on film. This study also shows his new (and final) signature and writing style in pencil.
 
About the Artist:

Rick Hunter saw art in everyday life. For 26 years, he shared that through photography. Hunter died November 8, 2013, but his legacy lives on through his work, which hangs in restaurants, hospitals, office buildings, galleries, and homes across San Antonio, his adopted hometown. 

In the age of Photoshop, Instagram, and DSLR cameras, Hunter was decidedly old school, shooting everything on film. From the early 2000s, his camera of choice was an old Rolleiflex, a twin-lens reflex camera. He shot there at least 50 times over the years.

A Brownsville native, Hunter grew up playing football and after high school enlisted in the military. After four years of service, he re-enlisted with dreams of becoming an Apache helicopter pilot until astigmatism discovered in an eye exam disqualified him. Instead, he was assigned to the photography department at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. At 28, he picked up a camera for the first time. He later shot freelance in New York, where he befriended Pulitzer-winning photographer Eddie Adams. In 1991 he returned to Texas, embarking on a 10-year career with the San Antonio Express-News. He shot fashion, sports, the rodeo, gangs, and more. 

His photos give others a glimpse of his unique viewpoint. 

If the winning bidder cannot attend the event then collection will be arranged at a later date.
