F-111

Completed in 1965 by American Pop artist James Rosenquist, F-111 is a panoramic multi-panel painting spanning eighty-six feet in length across twenty-three sections of oil on canvas with aluminum. Designed to wrap around the gallery walls of Leo Castelli Gallery, the composition depicts a full-scale supersonic military aircraft overlaid with commercial imagery, including a hair dryer, spaghetti, a Firestone tire, and a nuclear mushroom cloud under a beach umbrella. It is held in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
