Available for auction is a painting by Greg Stirling, featuring the "1974 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 2.1 Turbo". This 54" x 34" painting is made from acrylic media on canvas.
The RSR Turbo, introduced just a decade after the 911 entered production, is now recognized as one of the most fascinating, influential models in the history of the Porsche marque. These state-of-the-art machines successfully competed against prototype sports racing cars during the 1974 racing season and were instrumental in the development of subsequent turbocharged 911 racing cars. The RSR Turbo was also the first turbocharged car to run at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, ushering in an exciting new era in motorsports. Every Porsche that has won Le Mans since this model’s introduction in 1974 -- from the 936 to the 919 Hybrid -- successfully utilized turbo technology."
Greg Stirling started painting in 1980. After going through three decades of self-guided exploration in abstract expressionism, the art of the 20th century, and post-war impressionism, he arrived at the door of realism. To continue his area of study, Greg experimented with new techniques, media as well as innovative processes and concepts. Mr. Stirling is also an engineer, kinetic metal sculptor, and automotive enthusiast.
A message from the seller: "I decided to mate this legendary 911 RSR with an east coast setting reminiscent of the Hudson River in New York. I think this is one of my best pieces to date. This extra-large piece measures 54 x 34 inches. The photos shown on the wall are to scale. A portion of the proceeds from this auction will be donated to the victims of hurricane Ian. Happy Bidding!"
The seller states fees are $195 for packaging, handling, and shipping anywhere in the United States. The buyer is responsible for shipping, handling, and fees.
