Description
An ambitious work of endurance and patience created from 1969-1971, "365 Skies 1970" catalogues an entire year’s worth of California skies painted on 365 individual vacuum-formed white styrene panels that ultimately assemble into an expansive 7’ by 52’ foot chronological calendar. Revolutionary for the time, in both the process and materials used, 365 Skies 1970 should ultimately be understood as predicating later important art practice advancements of the post-WWII era.

From 1969 to 1971, he made waves with his ambitious, large-scale work, 365 Skies 1970. Made up of 365 one foot square styrene panels, each panel is an airbrushed, acrylic painting of the sky in California, one for every day of the year in 1970. These paintings are based on photographs, and when assembled chronologically, stand a towering seven feet high and span 52 feet horizontally.
Salvatore Pecoraro's work is in many corporate, private, and Museum collections. He currently works at his 10,000 square foot studio, Studio Campobello in the mountains of Santa Cruz.
