Signed Gallery Wrapped Giclée Canvas: Hand-Signed by Alan Bean (One Lucky Guy)
This entry showcases an authentic piece of space exploration history, Apollo program heritage, and aeronautical fine art: an original gallery-wrapped giclée on canvas titled One Lucky Guy, hand-signed and numbered by astronaut and artist Alan Bean.
As the Lunar Module Pilot for Apollo 12 in November 1969, Alan Bean (1932–2018) became the fourth human being to walk on the Moon. After resigning from NASA in 1981 to pursue fine art full-time, Bean devoted the rest of his life to depicting humanity's lunar achievements on canvas. Renowned as the only artist to have personally visited another world, Bean infused his paintings with authentic lunar dust, moon-boot prints, and real Apollo spacecraft material, capturing the texture and spirit of lunar exploration with unmatched authority.
Released by The Greenwich Workshop in 2012 as part of their Fine Art SmallWorks™ collection, One Lucky Guy features a striking impasto-style portrait of an astronaut in a full EVA spacesuit traversing the rugged lunar surface against a deep space backdrop.
Positioned in the lower right corner directly atop the canvas surface, Alan Bean has hand-signed his signature in dark marker ("Alan Bean") alongside his printed name block and hand-numbered edition designation (52/80). The piece is gallery-wrapped over a internal wooden stretcher frame, allowing the impasto texture to extend seamlessly around the edges.
Accompanying the artwork is an official Greenwich Workshop Certificate of Authenticity, confirming the 2012 release date, overall dimensions ($9\text{ in} \times 12\text{ in}$), and matching edition number (52 / 80).
Preserved in fine condition with vibrant colors, heavy painted texture, clean canvas margins, and a dark signature, this limited edition canvas serves as an essential centerpiece for space archivists, Apollo program collectors, and aviation art historians.
