About the Creator
Frank Pietronigro: Interdisciplinary Artist and Artronaut is more than a retrospective; it is a rare artifact at the intersection of aerospace history and avant-garde art. This limited-edition, 240-page monograph documents Pietronigro’s career as the first American artist to create "drift paintings" in zero gravity. The volume provides an expansive look at his creative output, featuring hundreds of his paintings, drawings, and other works of fine art. A major highlight is the documentation of his public art projects, which stand alongside his pioneering space arts initiatives including Art in The Park. For collectors and librarians, this is the definitive record of Research Project Number 33, featuring NASA collaborations and a legacy rooted in San Francisco’s queer activism. From oil painting to AI and digital architecture, this self-published labor of love captures the "synaptic insights" of a true polymath.
